Afghanistan country racially and linguistically mixed population reflects its location on both sides of remarkable trade and invasion routes leading from Central Asia into South and Southwest Asia. While people data is somewhat variable for Afghanistan, Pistons make up the major ethnic group at 43% of the population, followed by Tajiks (28%), Hazaras (8%), Uzbek (8%), Aimaq, Turkmen, Baluch, and other small groups. Dari (Afghan Farsi) and Pashto are official languages. Dari is spoken by more than one-third of the population as a first language and serves as a lingua franca for most Afghans, though Pashto is spoken throughout the Pashtun areas of eastern and southern Afghanistan. Tajik and Turkic languages are spoken widely in the north. Smaller groups throughout the country also speak more than 70 other languages and numerous dialects.

Afghanistan is an Islamic country. An estimated 80% of the people is Sunni, following the Hannifin school of jurisprudence; the rest of the population--and mainly the Hazara ethnic group--is predominantly Shi'a. Despite attempt during the years of socialist rule to secularize Afghan society, Islamic practices pervade all aspects of life. In fact, Islam served as a principal basis for expressing opposition to communism and the Soviet invasion. Islamic religious institution and codes, together with traditional tribal and ethnic practices, have an important role in personal conduct and dispute resolution. Afghan society is largely based on relationship groups, which follow customary customs and religious practices, though rather less so in urban area.
