{{AP|Demografía de Afganistán}}
La gran mayoría de los pasthún se encuentra en un área que va desde el oeste de Pakistán hasta el suroeste de Afganistán. También se encuentran algunas otras comunidades pashtún en las zona norte de Pakistán, [[Azad Kashmir]], y la provincia [[Sindh]] de Pakistán como también a lo largo de Afganistán. Existen algunas comunidades más pequeñas en [[Irán]], [[India]],<ref name="pbu">[http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=pbu Northern Pashto], ''Ethnologue.com'' (retrieved 7 June 2006)</ref><ref name="Indian Pathans">[http://www.joshuaproject.net/peopctry.php?rop3=107748&rog3=IN Pushtun, Northern of India], ''Joshua Project'' - ''figures taken from UNESCO through UNEP/GRID'' (retrieved 03 May 2007)</ref> y una comunidad grande de trabajadores migratorios en los países de la [[península árabe]]. [[Peshawar]] y [[Kandahar]] son grandes ciudades de la cultura pashtún. Además, [[Quetta]] y [[Kabul]] si bien son ciudades étnicamente diversas poseen una gran población pashtún. Karachi con una población de 1,5 millones de pashtún étnicos es la mayor ciudad pashtún del mundo.<ref name="How the Taliban keep their coffers full"> {{Cita web|título=How the Talibanm kept their coffers full|url=http://atimes.com/atimes/South_Asia/IA10Df02.html}}</ref>
Los pashtúnes representan más del 15,42% de la [[Demografía de Pakistán|población de Pakistán]] o 25,6 millones de personas.
En [[Demografía de Afganistán|Afganistán]], representan el 42% de la población o 12.5 millones de personas. Aunque es preciso considerar estas cifras con cierto recelo, particularmente las de Afganistán, además se debe tener en cuenta que unos tres millones de [[refugiado]]s afganos (de los cuales 81,5% o 2,49 millones son pashtún étnicos) permanecen en Pakistán.
Un número indeterminado de refugiados residen en Irán.<ref name="irin">[http://www.irinnews.org/report.asp?ReportID=50927&SelectRegion=Asia Iran-Pakistan: Refugees], ''IRIN Asia, UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs'' (retrieved 7 June 2006).</ref>
Se estima que el total de la población de étnia pashtún supera los 40 millones de personas.

{{AP|Historia de Afganistán|Historia de Pakistán}}
La historia de los pashtún se remonta a la antigüedad, y queda aún mucho por investigar. Desde el segundo milenio antes de Cristo hasta el presente, las regiones pashtunas han sido objeto de numerosas invasiones y migraciones incluyendo las realizadas por [[Indo-Iranios|tribus arias]] ([[pueblos iranios]], [[indoarios]]), [[medos]], [[persas]], [[imperio mauria|maurias]], [[escitas]], [[imperio
Existen numerosas teorías contrapuestas sobre los orígenes del pueblo pashtún, algunas modernas y otras arcaicas, tanto entre los historiadores como entre los mismos pashtunes.
===
El historiador griego [[Heródoto]] mencionó por primera vez a un pueblo que llamó ''pactyans'', que ya habitaban en la frontera este de la [[satrapía]] persa de [[Aracosia]] a principios del primer milenio antes de Cristo.<ref name="Heredotus">[http://www.piney.com/Heredotus7.html Chapter 7] of ''The History of Herodotus'' (traducido por [[George Rawlinson]]; originalmente escrito en el [[años 440 a.

<!--
Históricamente, a los pashtunes se les dice [[demografía de Afganistán|afgano]]s étnicos, ya que los vocablos pashtún y afgán eran sinónimos hasta la creación de la moderna Afganistán y la división de los pashtunes por la [[Linea Durand]] que es una frontera creada por los británicos hacia finales del [[siglo XIX]]. Según V. Minorsky, W. K. Frazier Tyler, M. C. Gillet y otros estudiosos, "La palabra afgán aparece por primera vez en la historia en el ''Hudud-al-Alam'' en el año 982".<ref name="Khalaj">[http://www.khyber.org/articles/2005/TheKhalajWestoftheOxus.shtml The Khalaj West of the Oxus]; excerpts from "The Turkish Dialect of the Khalaj", ''Bulletin of the School of Oriental Studies'', University of London, Vol 10, No 2, pp 417-437 (retrieved 10 January 2007).</ref>
Era utilizada por los pashtunes y se refiere a un antecesor legendario comun conocido como ''Afgana''.
It is believed that the Pashtuns emerged from the area around [[Kandahar Province|Kandahar]] and the [[Sulaiman Mountains]], and began expanding millennia ago.<ref name="ISBN Social Politics"
===Antropología y lingüística===
Línea 191 ⟶ 105:
Hence the [[tribal name]] '[[Yusufzai|Yusef Zai]]' in Pashto translates to the 'sons of Joseph'. A similar story is told by Iranian historian [[Firishta|Ferishta]].<ref name="Ferishta">[http://persian.packhum.org/persian/pf?file=06901021&ct=10 Introduction]: [[Firishta|Muhammad Qāsim Hindū Šāh Astarābādī Firištah]], ''History Of The Mohamedan Power In India'', The [[Packard Humanities Institute]] Persian Texts in Translation (retrieved 10 January 2007).</ref>
Maghzan-e-Afghani's Bani-Israel theory has been questioned due to some historical and linguistic inconsistencies. The main inconsistency is that the Ten Lost Tribes were exiled by Assyria, yet Maghzan-e-Afghani refers to them being permitted by the ruler of Persia to go east to Afganistán.<ref name="Afghanology"> [http://www.afghanology.com/BaniIsraeli.html Bani-Israelite Theory of Paktoons Ethnic Origin] ''Afghanology.com'' (retrieved 10 January 2007).</ref>
However this inconsistency can be explained by the fact that Persia acquired the lands of the Assyrian Empire when it conquered Babylonia, which had conquered Assyria decades earlier. Therefore, there is some credibility to this account, especially since many Pashtun oral traditions refer to it.
The oral tradition may, however, be a myth which grew out of a political and cultural struggle between Pashtuns and the Mughals, which explains the historical backdrop for the creation of the myth, the inconsistencies of the mythology, and the linguistic research that refutes any [[Semitic]] origins.<ref name="Afghanology"></ref>
Other Pashtun tribes claim descent from Arabs, including some even claiming to be descendants of the Muslim Prophet [[Muhammad]] (popularly referred to as [[sayyid]]s).<ref name="ISBN Olaf Caroe"

Later, in the 1970s, Khan Wali Khan pressed for more autonomy for Pashtuns.
Pashtuns in Afganistán attained complete independence from British intervention during the reign of King [[Amanullah Khan]], following the [[European influence in Afghanistan#Third Anglo-Afghan War and Independence|Third Anglo-Afghan War]].<ref name="iranica anglo-afghan"
In late 2001, the Taliban government was removed from power as a result of the [[War in Afganistán (2001–present)|US-led invasion of Afganistán]].
Línea 238 ⟶ 152:
The patrilineal definition is based on an important orthodox law of Pashtunwali. Its main requirement is that anyone claiming to be a Pashtun must have parents of Pashtun heritage. This law has maintained the tradition of exclusively patriarchal tribal lineage intact. Under this definition, in order to be an ethnic Pashtun, there is less regard as to what language one speaks (Pashto, Persian, Urdu, English, etc.), while more emphasis is placed upon one's father.
==Putative ancestry==
There are various communities which claim Pashtun descent and are largely found amongst other groups in [[South Asia|South]] and [[Central Asia]] who generally do not speak Pashto and are often considered either overlapping groups or are simply assigned to the ethno-linguistic group that corresponds to their geographic location and their mother tongue. Some groups who claim Pashtun descent include various non-Pashtun Afghans who are often conversant in [[Persian language|Persian]] rather than Pashto.<ref name="CIA Afghanistan"
Many claimants of Pashtun heritage in South Asia have mixed with local Muslim populations and refer to themselves (and Pashto-speaking Pashtuns and often Afghans in general) in the [[Hindustani language|Hindi-Urdu]] variant Pathan rather than Pashtun or Pukhtun.<ref name="Islamic Voice">[http://www.islamicvoice.com/may.2003/cseries.htm Memons, Khojas, Cheliyas, Moplahs.... How Well Do You Know Them?] ''Islamic Voice'' (retrieved 18 January 2007).</ref>

Indian Pathans claim descent from Pashtun soldiers that settled in [[North India|northern India]] and intermarried with local Muslims during the era of the [[Delhi Sultanate]] (especially under the [[Lodhi dynasty]]) and [[Mughal Empire]]. The [[Rohilla]] Pashtuns, after their defeat by the British, are notable for having intermarried with local Muslims. They are believed to have been bilingual in Pashto and Urdu until the mid-19th century. The repression of Rohilla Pashtuns by the British in the late 18th century caused thousands to flee to the [[Dutch Empire|Dutch]] colony of [[Guyana]] in [[South America]].<ref name="Rohillas">[http://afghanland.com/culture/guyana.html Afghans of Guyana], ''Afghanland.com'' (retrieved 18 January 2007)</ref>
Today, the Afghan proper refer to themselves as ''Ban-i-Afghan'' or ''Ban-i-Isrial'' to differentiate themselves form the Indian Pathan.<ref name="Lucknow">[http://www.lucknow4jesus.org/people/people2.asp Pathans of Lucknow, U.P., India], ''Lucknow4jesus.org'' (retrieved 03 May 2007)</ref>
With this differentiation in mind, the population of Pathans in India is around 11,324,000;<ref name="Indian Pathans">[http://www.joshuaproject.net/peopctry.php?rop3=107748&rog3=IN Pushtun, Northern of India], ''Joshua Project'' - ''figures taken from UNESCO through UNEP/GRID'' (retrieved 03 May 2007)</ref> this population is distributed throughout the [[List of Indian state and union territory capitals|states of India]].<ref name="Joshua Project Map">[http://www.joshuaproject.net/profiles/maps/m107748_in.gif Map of Pashtuns in India], ''Indian Pashtun Map'' (retrieved 04 May 2007).</ref>
Lastly, small minorities of [[Sikh]]s and [[Hinduism|Hindus]], who are often bilingual in Pashto and [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]], are estimated to be in the thousands and can be found in parts of Afganistán.<ref name="Afghan Sikhs">[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/3138282.stm Sikhs struggle in Afganistán], ''[[BBC News]]'' (retrieved 18 January 2007).</ref>

Its closest modern relatives include [[Pamir languages]], such as [[Shughni language|Shughni]] and [[Wakhi language|Wakhi]], and [[Ossetic language|Ossetic]], and has an ancient legacy of borrowing vocabulary from neighboring languages including [[Persian language|Persian]] and [[Vedic Sanskrit]]. Invaders have left vestiges as well as Pashto has borrowed words from [[Ancient Greek]], [[Arabic language|Arabic]] and [[Turkic languages|Turkic]], while modern borrowings come primarily from [[English language|English]].<ref name="ISBN Pashto Dictionary">Awde, Nicholas and Asmatullah Sarwan. 2002. ''Pashto: Dictionary & Phrasebook'', New York: Hippocrene Books Inc. ISBN 0-7818-0972-X (retrieved 18 February 2007).</ref>
Fluency in Pashto is often the main determinant as to whether there is group acceptance as to who is and is not considered a Pashtun. Pashtun [[nationalism]] emerged following the rise of Pashto poetry that linked language and ethnic identity starting with the work of [[Khushal Khan Khattak]] and continued with his grandson [[Afzal Khan Khattak|Afzal Khan]] (author of ''Tarikh-e Morassa'', a history of the Pashtun people).<ref name="ISBN Pashto Dictionary"
Pashto has [[national language|national status]] in Afganistán and [[regional language|regional status]] in Pakistan. In addition to their mother-tongue, many Pashtuns are fluent in [[Dari (Afganistán)|Dari]] (Afghan Persian) and/or [[Urdu]] as well as English.
Línea 326 ⟶ 240:
More precisely, there are several levels of organization within the Pashtun tribal system: the ''[[Tabar]]'' (tribe) is subdivided into kinship groups called ''[[Khel (Pastún)|Khels]]''. The ''Khel'' in turn is divided into smaller groups (''[[Pllarina]]'' or ''Plarganey''), each of which consists of several extended families or ''[[Kahols]]''.<ref name="Jirga">[http://unpan1.un.org/intradoc/groups/public/documents/APCITY/UNPAN017434.pdf Jirga - A Traditional Mechanism of Conflict Resolution in Afghanistan] by Ali Wardak, ''un.org'' (2003), p.7 (retrieved 10 October 2006)</ref>
"A large tribe often has dozens of sub-tribes whose members may see themselves as belonging to each, some, or all of the sub-tribes in different social situations (co-operative, competitive, confrontational) and identify with each accordingly."<ref name="Jirga"
In addition to the tribal hierarchy, another prominent Pashtun institution is that of the ''[[Jirga]]'' or 'Senate' of elected [[elder (administrative title)|elder]]s and wise men. Most decisions in tribal life are made by members of the Jirga, which is the main institution of authority that the largely egalitarian Pashtuns willingly acknowledge as a viable governing body.<ref name="HRW">[http://hrw.org/press/2002/04/qna-loyagirga.htm Q & A on Afghanistan's Loya Jirga Process], ''[[Human Rights Watch]]'' (retrieved 10 October 2006).</ref>

[[Image:Afghan girl Pashtun.JPEG|right|150px|thumb|A young Pashtun woman from Afghanistan.]]
The lives of Pashtun women vary from those who reside in conservative rural areas, such as the [[Federally Administered Tribal Areas|tribal belt]], to those found in relatively freer urban centers.<ref name="Women's Rights">[http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/people/features/ihavearightto/four_b/report-azami.shtml I have a right to], ''BBC World Service'', Fri 16 January 2006 (retrieved 10 October 2006).</ref>
Though many Pashtun women remain tribal and illiterate, others have become educated and gainfully employed.<ref name="Women's Rights"
In addition, the male-dominated code of ''Pashtunwali'' often constrains women and forces them into designated traditional roles that separate the genders.<ref name="Women and Pashtunwali"
The pace of change and reform for women has been slow as a result of the [[wars in Afghanistan]] and the isolation and instability of tribal life in Pakistan.
Línea 343 ⟶ 257:
Even during the tumultuous Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, [[civil rights]] remained an important issue as feminist leader [[Meena Keshwar Kamal]] campaigned for women's rights and founded the Revolutionary Women of Afghanistan (RAWA) in the 1980s.<ref name="RAWA">[http://www.rawa.org/waves.htm Making Waves: Interview with RAWA], ''RAWA.org'', Fri January 16, 2006 (retrieved 10 October 2006).</ref>
Today, Pashtun women vary from the traditional housewives who live in seclusion to urban workers, some of whom seek or have attained parity with men.<ref name="Women's Rights"
However, due to numerous social hurdles, the literacy rate for Pashtun women remains considerably lower than that of males.<ref name="Pakistan Education and Gender">[http://www.statpak.gov.pk/depts/pco/statistics/pop_education/pop_education_sex.html Population by Level of Education and Gender], ''Pakistan Census'', Fri January 16, 2006 (retrieved 10 October 2006).</ref><ref name="Afghan women literacy">[http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/03/29/world/main683742.shtml Laura Bush Meets Afghan Women], ''CBS News'', Fri January 16, 2006 (retrieved 10 October 2006).</ref>
Abuse against women is also widespread and yet is increasingly being challenged by women's rights organizations which find themselves struggling with conservative religious groups as well as government officials in both Pakistan and Afghanistan. According to researcher Benedicte Grima's book ''Performance of Emotion Among Paxtun Women'', "a powerful ethic of forbearance severely limits traditional Pashtun women's ability to mitigate the suffering they acknowledge in their lives."<ref name="Paxtun Women">Grima, Benedicte. 1992. [http://www.amazon.com/dp/0292727569 ''Performance of Emotion Among Paxtun Women''], [[University of Texas Press]]. ISBN 0-292-72756-9 (retrieved 10 October 2006).</ref>
Línea 350 ⟶ 264:
Another tradition that persists is ''swara'', a practice that involves giving a female relative to someone in order to rectify a dispute. The practice was declared illegal in Pakistan in 2000, but continues in tribal regions.<ref name="Khaleej Times">[http://www.alternatives.ca/article1231.html Pakistani Girls Forced to Settle Men's Disputes], ''Khaleej Times'', Fri April 16, 2004 (Alternatives.ca) (retrieved 10 October 2006).</ref>
Despite obstacles, many Pashtun women have begun a process of slow change. While most Pashtun women are illiterate, a rich oral tradition and resurgence of poetry has been inspirational to many Pashtun women seeking to learn to read and write.<ref name="Pashtun poetess"
As a sign of further female emancipation, a Pashtun woman recently became one of the first female fighter pilots in the [[Pakistan Air Force]].<ref name="BBC First Female Pilots">[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4533367.stm Pakistan's first women fighter pilots], Zaffar Abbas, ''BBC News'', 11 May 2005 (retrieved 10 October 2006).</ref>
Further challenging the status quo, [[Vida Samadzai]] was selected as [[Miss Afghanistan]] in 2003, a feat that was received with a mixture of support from those who back the individual rights of women and those who view such displays as anti-traditionalist and un-Islamic. In addition, numerous Pashtun women have attained high political office both in Pakistan and, following recent elections, in Afghanistan, where the percentage of female representatives is one of the highest in the world.<ref name="BBC Warlords">[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/4434782.stm Warlords and women in uneasy mix], Andrew North, ''BBC News'', 14 November 2005 (retrieved 10 October 2006).</ref>
