@PashtoLang @iopyne The presence of retroflex sounds are not only the characteristic of Pashto but also some other East Iranian languages. Further, retroflex sounds in Pashto are not borrowed from Sanskrit as you claim but from the BMAC or some Dravidian language.

@Anthro_pogenic @Moosemanoo seems to be passed that stage ... consumes hashish and possibly drugs ...and amusingly calling all that self-degrading, degenerating stuff "liberalism".

[Mohammad Naeem @naeem_ca]

@drqasimkhan80 @ilyaspopal One wonders how ill-informed you guys are.

[Mohammad Naeem @naeem_ca]

@drqasimkhan80 @ilyaspopal You are damn wrong---an ethnic identity or name can have supera-ethnic meanings, e.g., in Turky, we have loads of Kurds, Arabs, Alvis, all called Turks in the sense of citizenship. That doesn't mean now Turks should find themselves another name or Kurds, Arabs now cease to exist.

[Mohammad Naeem @naeem_ca]

@drqasimkhan80 @ilyaspopal Afghan is both an ethnic-identity appellation, historically, and a citizenship marker just like Russian is which represents citizenship also the ethnic name of a people with specific culture and language (ethnic Russians) -applied to Tatars, Chechens also with distinct ethnos.

@drqasimkhan80 @Moosemanoo This Punjabnr doesn't know a culture of honour obviously due to been brought up in a honourless culture -

[Mohammad Naeem @naeem_ca]

@Moosemanoo He stood for his dignity and the dignity of his people against an invading power unlike your dark ilk who offered it their women. And unfortunate things happen in the heat of war or in crossfire not to mention how respectfully was Miss Ellis treated by Ajab Khan...

[Mohammad Naeem @naeem_ca]

@Moosemanoo Do a DNA and there you would find a bunch of genes of untouchability --- many like you are kami kameens of Punjab having converted to Islam to escape the oppression of still existing cast system and then pretending Pashtun or Turks or Arabs to garner some social prestige.

[Mohammad Naeem @naeem_ca]

@tajikzoda @ArmalBelton @tbonecapital Ethnicities are formed organically. No one can create an ethnicity artificially although socio-political processes may play a role like in the case of Tajiks, Farsification, Turkification, Mongolization, and Russification played roles but overall, the formation was organic.

[Mohammad Naeem @naeem_ca]

@Barmakf @Afghan_DNA Could have said something itelligible.

[Mohammad Naeem @naeem_ca]

@ArainGang "Informal Analysis" makes it smack of some kind of trickery. You don't invent evidence to prove a point; you search for it.

[Mohammad Naeem @naeem_ca]

@ArainGang By atDNA based distance, more than half of the ancient Swat samples are closer to Pashtuns. By Y-DNA, Swat samples don't yeild any R-L657, the Indic marker, rather show the Pashtun R-Z2124 marker...deflates "Pashtunization theory" Punjabis are obssessed with now-a-days.

@Saatvata Check dna analysis of Swat Gandhara culture on dnagenics and "explore your dna". Most human fossil are autosomally either closest to modern Pashtuns or Kalasha. Their y dna is also not defintely R1a-L657, identity marker of the Indics; likely it is R1a0Z2124, Pashtun marker.

@Ameliaolsson_ @aestaestaest_ @pianopidaras6 @GoldenSaka @Ossetianvirtue Many linguists have classified both the languages as east iranic. So the issue is settled I think.

[Mohammad Naeem @naeem_ca]

@ArainGang Total farse and propaganda. If that is the case, can you tell what is the share of different ethnicities in the top bross, i.e., major general and above. Stop this deception.

[Mohammad Naeem @naeem_ca]

@FahamHassan3 Liaqat Ali Khan was murdered by the Punjabi loby comprising Mushtaq Gormani, Ghulam Mohammad, and others. Involved also were big Western powers of that time because Liaqat Ali Khan was perceived to be hindrance to extending SEATO/CENTO to the region.

[Mohammad Naeem @naeem_ca]

@ArainGang @goldendays2000 Kalash, Kho, Nuristanis, and Pashai cluster more tightly with the neigbhouring Iranic groups like Tajiks, Pamiris, and Pashtuns.

[Mohammad Naeem @naeem_ca]

@ArainGang @goldendays2000 Kalash seem to be originally Nuristanis but have adopted an Indo-Aryan language. Nuristanis constiture another category besides the Indic and Iranic categories that descended from proto-Indo-Iranian according to some scholars.
