Best Answer

Pashtuns are ethnically and iinquistically a people of eastern iranian ancestry (possible partial modern day descendants of Bactrians/Scythians) speaking a language called pashto(or pakhto). There is evidence of a limited greek contribution to the gene pool. Pashto language is related to the extinct Bactrian language and has many loan words from ancient greek dating from the greek occupation of Bactria (northern Afghanistan) in ancient times.
