Map failure

In the bottom of the map is written "Haraza" instead of "Hazara" and "Balock" instead of "Baloch/Balotch". Ridiculous.. Please fix that! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.217.64.106 (talk) 13:40, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Original ethnic afghan population ?

There are several claims that there had been an original afghan ethnic group

This ethnic group has lived in that area before the invasion of the indians and arabs.

But i doubt that this ethnic group is so native because there had been many invasions of Russians, mongols and other groups like the Turks or even the Barbarian and Alexander the great before...... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.2.134.104 (talk) 13:55, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Invasions don't replace a group of people, forced migration or ethnic cleansing does which has not happened Afghanistan. The Pashtuns are native to Afghanistan and speak an Eastern Iranian language which is also native to this area. Yes there has been migrations of other ethnic groups in the region from invasions like Hazara, Uzbeks,Tajiks. Turkmens who mostly settled here in the past 100-500 years.

Tajiks also claim nativity in Afghanistan. Essentially, "Tajiks" are decendents of various Persianized Eastern Iranian tribes such as the Bacterians and Sogdians with some Western Iranian (present-day Iran) admixture. (We can also note some Turkic and Pashtun mixture nowadays -- especially in urban cities with large concentrations of other ethnic groups). From my research, both Pashtuns and Tajiks (and their related ethnic groups) have valid claims to nativity in Afghanistan.

Also, the Taliban (which mainly comprised of ethnic Pashtuns) did execute ethnic cleansing to mainly Hazaras and some Tajiks during their rule in the 90s.
