Is Afghanistan Arab

Answer 1

Answer 1Afghans are a mixture of various ethnic groups including tribes whose ancestors were from Arabia. Modern day Afghans have ancestry from Persians, Scythians, Aryans (Afghanistan was once called Aryana) Indians, Macedonians, Arabs and Mongols. Another theory even suggests that some may even be descendants of the ancient Israelites but it cannot be proven. Answer 2Afghans are from Afghanistan and Arabs are from Saudi Arabia.

Answer 2

There are numerous ethnicities present in Afghanistan, including Persians, Pashto, Dari, Uzbek, Turkmen, Sindhi, and Kyrgyz among others. None of these groups nor any that I am aware of speak Arabic or consider themselves to be Arab. Arabs conversely do not consider Aghanistan to be an Arab country.

Afghanistan IS however a majority-Moslem nation, like all Arab countries, whence the confusion springs.

Yeah, this person is right. Arabs, are kind of one of those language-strict ethnicities. Meaning the language is one of the key traits. Afghans, don't speak Arabic and it might seem like it. Because, they might dress like Arabs and they even use the Arabic writing system for their dialects (called the Urdu script). Persians are one of the dominant groups, and their culture is VERY similar to Arab culture. Arabs and Persians are pretty much, kind of like sister ethnicities yet the Arabic and Persian languages aren't even from the same family. Since Afghanistan is a Muslim nation, like the first person said, there is a mass confusion since Afghanistan is also located in the Middle East.
