Ethnic Groups of the World




Pashthuns
People also call them as Afghan, Pakhtun, Pathan and Pushtun, Hindustani Pathan, Persian Afghan and Pashto-speaking people. They are a big part of the total population of people in Afghanistan and already had the name from the first six letters of the country before it was named as that. Historians and other researchers are still scratching their head how this large ethnic group really began. However, their tradition depicts that they are descendants from the son of the son of King Saul from Israel. However, other people strongly assumes that they came from the Aryans who invaded before. Every ethnic group has their own men who are relative to another person. When they have arguments about wealth, women and even direct damages can cause bloody battles among the families and even the whole tribe. The sons and daughters will follow the teachings of their parents and will continue what unfinished business they have with the other family until it is finished. However, some are being stopped by a council and the leaders of each clan.
Han
Not only it is the largest in China, but also throughout the world. 92 percent of China's population came from this group. They can be found living in some of the rivers of China specifically the famous ones like the Yellow River(they also call it as the protector of their civilization), Yangtze River and the Pearl River. When it comes to literature and language, they have their own way of speaking to each other as well as writing. They existed for more than 4 000 years and thus one of the ancient cultures of the world aside from the ones found in the Europe. The word Han originally came from one of the greatest dynasties before.
