:google: is your friend ;)

Why should we do your homework for you?

Re: Afghanistan Project
 

:welcome:

Best thing I would recommend is to have a good search using Google, etc - Wikipedia will have info, for example.

Also the CIA database

https://www.cia.gov/library/publicat...k/geos/af.html

- just remember that just pasting from websites isn't really 'doing a project' - the point of which is that you do your research & then build up your portfolio using your own interpretation of the data, not someone elses :)

<edit> several people type faster, than me, I see ;)

Don't forget to pop down the local library and rent a book or two as well, nothing like good old written info. Tends to be more accurate than Wikipedia for example, but not as upto date.

You could join the army. ;)

He'd probably be very unlucky and end up in Iraq instead lol

Re: Afghanistan Project
 

Yeah that could happen, but if he played his cards right he could go to both theaters;)

Re: Afghanistan Project
 

thanks for help everyone
what about music and stuff? does anyone have Afghanistan music?

Re: Afghanistan Project
 

this is interesting for me, im an Afghan myself, spent most of my life living there...

just post anything you need to know about the country from someone who has seen it first had.

As for music, depends what language music you want it in?

there are many languages in my country, and anyways heres some good ones that i like, they are in Dari.

what language do u speak then Zee

Re: Afghanistan Project
 

The Afghan languages i can speak are:

Dari, Pashto, Hazara, Uzbek

then i can also speak Farsi & Tajik (their countries, Tajikistan and Iran border ours, plus their language is simular to Dari)

and i can also speak Urdu (Most Afghans know Urdu because a lot of us moved into Pakistan)

here is a map of most dominant languages in Afghanistan, although Urdu is very dominant it isn't spoken as a first language by any Afghan and therefore isn't listed

and Hazara language isn't listed either, it is mixed in with Dari, and is spoken by about 8-10% of the population as a first language.
