Nuristanis

Okay kiddo, do you know that in Afghanistan there are different groups of people? One of these groups is called Nuristanis, and they are very interesting because they have their own unique culture and language.

Nuristanis live in a place called Nuristan, which is in the eastern part of Afghanistan and is very mountainous. They have learned to adapt to living in the mountains, and because of that, they have their own way of life.

For food, Nuristanis grow their own crops like wheat and barley, and they also keep animals like goats and cows. They love to eat bread, cheese, and sometimes even wild animals like deer.

Nuristanis also have their own language, which is called Nuristani. It is very different from the main language in Afghanistan, which is called Pashto. Nuristani has its own alphabet, which is very unique and different from the language we use.

One of the most interesting things about Nuristanis is their clothing. They wear colorful and beautiful clothes that are different from what we are used to seeing. Women wear long dresses with colorful patterns, and they also wear headscarves. Men wear long shirts and pants with a type of hat called a pakol.

Overall, Nuristanis are a very unique and interesting group of people who have their own culture, language, and way of life.
