I am very curious. Afghans are a country that looks very different. Is Afghanistan a country in West Asia? Or an East Asian country? Or Central Asian countries? Or a South Asian country?

I personally prefer South Asian countries for the following reasons:

Mainly from the perspective of the ethnic composition of Afghans, the main ethnic groups are: Pashtun (40% of the population), Tajik ethnic group (25% of the population), Hazaras (25% of the population), other Uzbeks, Persians, and Baluchis ***10%.

From the perspective of population proportion: Pashtuns and Baluchis are typical South Asian ethnic groups. The population proportion in Afghanistan is as high as about 45%, and Central Asian ethnic groups such as Tajiks and Uzbeks account for 28%. Zara ethnic group: They are descendants of East Asian Mongolian immigrants, accounting for 25% of the East Asian ethnic group and only 2% of the Persian ethnic group in West Asia. According to the ethnic population distribution ratio, Afghanistan should be a South Asian country.
