List of Pashtuns

Pashtuns,[1] also known as Pakhtuns or Afghans, are an ethnic group that inhabit the Pashtunistan region of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

[2][3] They are one of the most populous ethnic groups in both countries.

There is a significant Pashtuns diaspora in neighbouring countries such as India and Iran.

[4] Pashtuns are traditionally organised into tribal divisions, and their society is defined by the Pashtunwali, the traditional code by which they live.

It is extremely important in the social structure and interactions of the Pashtun tribes.
