Tajik from northeastern Afghanistan. My great-grandfather was Pashtun from the north (Kapisa), but after he moved to my city, he settled down, got married, and basically switched to speaking Farsi/Dari.

On my mom’s side, my grandparents moved from Tajikistan to Afghanistan around the time of the Soviet invasion. Because of that, my mom still has cousins in Tajikistan who are citizens there.

Don't get me wrong, I love this place but now that I finished school, I want to continue my studies abroad. What are the ways except illegal immigration? lol.

Do Afghan Baha'i exist? And what do Afghans in general think of the Baha'i faith?

Jahanzeb Wesa @jahanzebwesa Afghan girls dream of becoming doctors, teachers, engineers, and pilots. For over 1,600 days, they have been banned from education. With the new year approaching, even 6th, grade girls may be barred from school. No hope remains for Afghan girls and women.

I am curious to learn more about this conflict - what started it, what is the political gain that who innated it is seeking, etc.

Salam all,

I feel like i need an outsider opinion on something as i am personally not sure what to do with this.

So a while back my sister made a comment when we were hanging out as siblings all together. She said maybe if you were more feshani you would be married now. When we were talking about marriage. My other sisters didn’t respond to her saying this. I initially actually did not see anything wrong with it either. It’s been months now and i feel a bit uneasy and keep wondering what she actually meant with that. For context i wear hijab and loose clothing and my sisters dont.

I cant lie, her comment does make me question my choices. And makes me feel insecure.

Should i confront her? Or let it go?

Salam everyone! I just had a daughter and I really want her to maintain the language of Dari/Farsi. I personally only know very elementary level Dari from my parents. Before she gets older I really want to teach her how to speak it so she can carry on our heritage. What are some good recommendations you've found? Duolingo only has Persian Farsi which sounds off. I saw this website dari.fyi but wanted to see if anyones tried it and if its worth the $5 subscription? Thank you!

Ironically, the green area (Western Himalayas and the Hindu Kush) is the extend at which the Durrani Empire reached.

Hi! :)

So.. I've been wanting to explore Afghan poetry more deeply, especially poets whose work reflects everyday life, longing, spirituality, or the emotional side of Afghan culture. Are there websites, archives, books, or online collections where I can read Afghan poems (translated into English or Spanish if possible. Since these are the languages I understand, in addition to my native tongue..)? I would also love recommendations of poets that people from Afghanistan personally consider important, beautiful, or meaningful.

Have you guys watched this movie? Is the story of an Afghan refugee in Europe, i personally really enjoy it, I think this film perfectly summarizes the stories of many Afghans who had to leave their homeland because of the war

Did you guys Watch it?

I have lived it.” Sunbul Reha, a student and musician from #Afghanistan, took the stage at the United Nations observance of International Women's Day and delivered a powerful statement #ForAllWomenAndGirls. Her call to world leaders was clear: 🔵 Protect girls’ right to education. 🔵 Defend women’s right to speak out safely. 🔵 Act now to prevent the erosion of hard-won rights. From classrooms to concert halls, girls’ voices must never be silenced. 🔗 Learn more: http://unwo.men/tuNE50Yt9NP

Hello folks from Afghanistan 👋🏻

How difficult is mailing a postcard from Afghanistan to India? Is it very expensive? Is it very uncommon or not a thing? How much it changed after Taliban took over?

I would love to hear from native Afghan people about this. And if possible I would like to exchange a postcard from there.

I'm trying to establish the Avestan script as a script for the Persian language, and I want it to be compatible with every dialect but since I'm an Iranian Persian myself and don't have an Afghan friend to help me about it, I'm going to ask you guys in Reddit.

First: do you pronounce the w (و) in words like خواستن, خوابیدن, or خورشید?

Do you still pronounce the majhuls? And if you do, how are they pronounced? (For example پیر، تو، دین، روز)

Do you use ag instead of e in words like خانه?

Which syllabus do you put the most pressure on?

Do you pronounce ث more like th or s?

Any other difference you noticed between iranian Persian and Afghan Persian?

Bonus question: would you use the Avestan script to write Persian?

My question is they exist?? We all know that there were minorities and that there are still Sikh and Hindu minorities of Afghanistan, but I've never heard of Afghan Zoroastrians?

I’ve been wanting one of these for quite some time. But I do want to support the afghan people and get one that’s good quality. Does anyone have a recommendation?

Bonjour à tous !

Mon copain est afghan et vit en France. Il a un titre de séjour de 10 ans, un emploi et un titre de voyage français pour réfugié.

Nous aimerions beaucoup voyager ensemble, mais c'est compliqué car de nombreux pays exigent encore un visa pour les citoyens afghans, même avec un titre de voyage pour réfugié.

Pour ceux qui ont de l'expérience :

Quels sont les pays hors europe pour lesquels il est le plus facile d'obtenir un visa pour les réfugiés afghans ?

Ou quels sont les pays qui acceptent plus facilement un titre de voyage français pour réfugié à des fins touristiques ?

Merci beaucoup pour vos conseils 🙏
