Afghans
Tall silky hounds
Afghans are people from Afghanistan or of Afghan descent.
The term applies to all citizens regardless of ethnicity—Pashtun, Tajik, Hazara, Uzbek, and others: Millions of Afghans fled during the decades of conflict.
Afghan also functions as an adjective: Afghan cuisine, Afghan refugees. (Lowercase afghans refers to knitted blankets or the dog breed.)
