The following is an incomplete list of notable Pashtuns.[1] The list includes those born to parents who are both Pashtuns and those that have mixed Pashtun ancestry. If looking for the list of Afghans by nationality, please refer to the article:list of Afghans. Pashtun people are defined by speaking the East Iranian dialects of Pashto and related dialects (IE Waneci, Wazirwola etc) as their mother tongue however there exist many Pashtun communities that shifted to speaking another language. Alternative names for Pashtuns are Pathans, Ethnic Afghans and a defunct name "Rohilla" which means highlander.
