Pashtun
پشتون
a member of a Pashto-speaking people inhabiting NW
Pakistan and SE
Afghanistan. Also called Pathan. Their origins are unclear:
Pashtun tradition asserts that they are descended from Afghana, grandson of King Saul of
Israel, but most scholars believe that they arose from an intermingling of ancient Aryans from the north or west with subsequent invaders.
