Pukhtoon also spelled Pashtun or Pathan, Pashto speaking people of Southeastern Afghanistan and North Western Pakistan. They constitute the majority of the population of Afghanistan and bore the exclusive name of Afghan before that came to denote any native of the present land area of Afghanistan. Pashtoon tradition asserts that they are descended from Afghana, grandson of King Saul of Israel, though most scholars believe it more likely that they arose from an intermingling of ancient Aryans from the north or west with subsequent invaders. Several Pukhtoon tribes are known to have moved from Afghanistan between the 13the and 16th century. Pukhtoon history, culture and traditions are very old. Pukhto language is as old as 5000 years. This is language but their constitution, culture, traditions and customs. All Pukhtoons spend their life within the circle of Pukhto. They spend their life in this discussion as "this is Pukhto and this is not". They move around within this circle of Pukhto, and going out of it is disobeying Pukhto constitution and the law. There are estimated to be about 7,500,000 Pukhtoon in Afghanistan and 14,000,000 in Pakistan. They comprise about 60 tribes of varying size and importance, each of which occupies a particular territory. In Afghanistan, where Pukhtoon are the predominated ethnic group, the main tribes are the Durrani South of Kabul and the Ghilzy east of Kabul. In Pakistan, Pukhtoon predominate north of Quetta between the Suleman range and the Indus River. In the hill areas the main tribes are, from South to North, the Kakar, Sherani, and Ustarana South of the Gomal River, the Mahsud, Derwesh Khel, Waziri and Bitani between the Gomal River and Thal. The Turi, Bangash, Orakzai, Afridi and Shinwari from Thal to the Khyber pass and the Mahmand, Utman Khal, Tarklani and Yusufzai north and northeast of the Khyber. The settled areas include lowland tribes subject to direct administration by the Provincial government. The main tribes there are, from South to North, the Balauchi and Khattak from the Khurram River to Nowshera, and the Khalil and Mandan in the vale of Peshawar.
