I know my ancestors didn't come to Kunduz in the 19th century. THey have been there a long time ago... By the way there pashtun. THey h ave proof they were there. I don't know how or where this man/woman got this information from .. and the reference is from a non-afghan who doesnt't know much about Afghanistan. This is just stupid...claim. Most probably some idiot pakistani made this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.231.96.184 (talk) 01:54, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
Population figures
In the introduction it states the 2002 population to be 95,000. In the infobox it says 2006 figures are 264,100 and in the Kunduz Province article it says 259,497. Is there any reason for the huge disparity? Perhaps large scale population movements? Or are teh figures wrong somewhere? Xaghan (talk) 03:31, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
Well, the only census of the country was a partial one taken by the communist government of Afghanistan in 1979, months before the Soviet invasion. It was never completed. All demographic figures for country--provincial, city or otherwise, are just estimates. These estimates are marred by ignorance and/or chauvinism of the one who estimates them (Pashtuns always underestimating others, while others doing the same to the Pashtuns). Then there is the question of people themselves not providing the correct information for the fear of the unknown: taxes, military drafting, repression of the minorities, etc. etc. So, take all the demographic figures for Afghanistan with many grains of salt.

Demographics of Kunduz Province & City
According to most of the sources, Pashtuns form the largest group in the province followed by Uzbeks and then Tajiks. I will list some of the sources.
- NPS - "Gilzhai Pashtuns comprise 33% of the population of Kunduz and are the majority ethnic group in the province.", "The Uzbek ... comprise around 27% of the population of Kunduz Province." & "In Kunduz, Tajiks ... represent 22% of the population"
- Handicap International - "Pashtun lived in Kunduz province, they today comprise the largest ethnic group (34%) followed by Uzbeks (27%), Tajiks (20%), Turkmen (9,4%), Arabs (4,5%) and Hazaras (3,5%)."
- CIMIC Web - "Pashtun (33%), Uzbek (27%), Tajik (22%), Turkmen (11%), Hazara (6%), Pashai (1%)"
- NY Times - "Pashtuns, who make up nearly half of Kunduz’s population"
- UC Davis - "Pashtu is spoken by the majority in more than two villages out of five; Dari by more than a quarter; and Uzbaki by more than a fifth."
I am therefore reverting your edit. You are welcome to resolve your issue here first and then make your edits. Thanks (Ketabtoon (talk) 07:43, 29 April 2013 (UTC))
Etymology on Name
Kunduz is most definitely not a Persian or Turkic word. This section shows no citaions or evidence for this claim, but from what i have been told, the word is of Pashto origin which makes sense since majority of the population is Pashtun. I will find sources for my claim. Akmal94 (talk) 00:28, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- The Afghani city of Kunduz is known as Wuhuan, and later as War-waliz, that means "City of Avars". The state symbol of the Caucasian Avars (Caucasian Avar Khanate) according to Georgian geographer Vakhushti Bagrationi "the wolf with a banner on a background of mountains" (17-18 centuries). (see: Vakhushti. Istorija Gruzii, pp. 553,641,653// Institut rukopisej imeni K. Kelidze. Akademija Nauk Gruzinskoj SSR. f. N., № 2079). Actually AVAR in Caucasian Avaristan it is KHUNZAKH which has no translation except for as "at Huns". So Kunduz comes down to "hun-duz", probably the same meaning as War-waliz, so "hun city" is the most probable. 81.183.245.214 (talk) 15:20, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
a redundance
In point of vue of ethymology , it is , of course a redundance like in French "le mont aigual" and so on..... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.250.230.73 (talk) 07:56, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
