Arab armies reached Afghanistan in the 640s, but Kabul fell more than 200 years later, to a Persian-speaking dynasty.
Today its main languages are Dari (a form of Persian) and Pashto, both Iranian languages.
Is Afghanistan the Middle East, Central Asia or South Asia? Tell me below.

Afghanistan was unconquered by Arabs. They never had Ghor, Zabulistan, Kabulistan, Nuristan, Badghis it was ruled by Zunbils, Kabul shahis, and local native tribal people. Not until local kingdoms of Afghanistan like the Saffarids, Samanids, Ghaznavids, Ghurids who converted afghans. Afghans just converted themselves to Islam. For example Yaqub Al saffar of the Saffarids who came from Zaranj, Afghanistan ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ซ

We are very very genetically and culturally different from South Asia, despite of the proximity. Itโ€™s been in the last 20-25+ years that we assimilated with South Asian culture through our migration to Pakistan, otherwise, Afghans are quite different from anything South Asia.
