Why is tajik and persian separate while hindi urdu is combined into one language? Standard Tajik and standard Persian of Iran is not less mutually intelligible than urdu and hindi to the point to be separated out to two different languages. What was the reasoning behind separating Persian culture/language but keeping Hindustani intact? Respectfully, this is a bias against Persian speaking people in the region. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:158F:A900:7830:D58:66FA:B4C6 (talk) 14:30, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pro-pashtun

there's a pro Pashtun rhetoric here - Afghanistan is an extremely diverse country, so why are only Pashtuns recognised as "afghan" and other ethnic groups within the country are considered "non-afghan" N11012 (talk) 10:31, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
