On the distribution of Turk tribes in Afghanistan

About this book

As the author writes in the first and second sentences of his introduction, "The purpose of the present work is to give a picture of the distribution of the Turkish peoples in Afghanistan on the basis of the knowledge available from all the scattered sources about the country and from material collected by myself in the country in 1935. It is important to determine the features of the Turkish population of Afghanistan, as here we find the southern boundaries of the Turkish-speaking peoples."
