Afghan Tajik Erotic

Afghan Tajiks comprise approximately 27% of the Afghanistan population — the second-largest ethnic group, concentrated in northern, northeastern, and western Afghanistan (Badakhshan, Takhar, Kunduz, Baghlan, Parwan, Kapisa, Panjshir, Bamiyan, Samangan, Balkh, Sar-e Pul, Jowzjan, Faryab, Badghis, Herat, Kabul). Cross-border population shared with the independent state of Tajikistan (~8.4M+, separately enumerated under TJ). The Afghan Tajik population is the largest national Tajik population globally (vs Tajikistan's ~8.4M, the Afghan Tajik population at ~10M+ is somewhat larger). The Tajik language (called Dari in Afghan-state usage, a variant of Persian closely related to Iranian Persian / Farsi and to Tajiki of Tajikistan) is the second of the two official languages of Afghanistan (alongside Pashto). The community is the political-cultural anchor of the Persianate cultural sphere in Afghanistan — Afghan literary heritage (Rumi was born in Balkh in 1207, Ferdowsi's Shahnameh has substantial Afghan-cultural significance) is closely tied to Tajik / Dari cultural traditions.
