This land, inhabited by the Afghan tribes (i.e. ancestors of Pashtuns), was called Afghanistan, which loosely covered a wide area between the Hindu Kush and the Indus River, principally around the Sulaiman Mountains.
Táto krajina, obývaná afgánskymi kmeňmi (potomkami Paštúnov), sa nazývala Afganistan a zhruba pokrývala rozsiahlu oblasť medzi pohorím Hindúkuš a riekou Indus, predovšetkým okolo Sulajmánskeho pohoria.
