Draft:Timuri Pashtun
| Submission declined on 2 September 2025 by Perryprog (talk). Three things—1) the ISBN for Tapper (1983) is invalid, could you correct that? 2) It's not a big deal, but it would be preferable if you could reference the sources that Encyclopædia Iranica references instead of the encyclopedia itself? It's a bit preferable to use secondary sources over tertiary sources when possible. 3) I would strongly advise against the use of LLMs such as ChatGPT in assisting with any of these tasks, or working on this article, as it appears you have been.

The Pashtunised Timuri (Pashto: تیموري پښتانه) are a small group of Timuri in northeastern Afghanistan who gradually underwent Pashtunisation. They are mainly found in Baghlan Province, with smaller communities in Herat and Ghazni.[1]
History
[edit]The Timuri were historically one of the major Aimaq sub-groups in western Afghanistan. During the 18th–19th centuries, some nomadic Timuri settled in northeastern Afghanistan, where they gradually assimilated into neighboring Pashtun tribes.[2][3]
Language
[edit]The Pashtunised Timuri primarily speak Pashto as their native language. Persian remains in limited use, mostly among older generations or in historical accounts.[4]
Culture and Identity
[edit]While integrated into the wider Pashtun tribal system, Pashtunised Timuri maintain elements of their original Timuri heritage in oral tradition, customs, and historical memory. Their nomadic lifestyle historically facilitated close interaction with other Pashtun communities.[1][4]
