Afghans are an ethnic group native to Afghanistan, but the term "Afghans" can also refer to the traditional blanket or throw that is popular globally. However, depending on the context in which the word is used, there are several alternative names that can be used. "Pashtuns" is often used to refer to the largest ethnic group of Afghanistan, while "Kuchi" is used to describe a nomadic Pashtun subgroup. "Tajiks" is used to describe the second-largest ethnic group in Afghanistan, and "Hazara" describes a minority ethnic group. In terms of the popular blanket, synonyms include "throw," "blanket," and "wrap".
