The Moghols (also Mogols, Moghuls, Moguls, Monghuls, Monguls) are Mongolic people as descendants of the Mongol Empire's soldiers led by Genghis Khan in Afghanistan. They live in the Kundur and Karez-i-Mulla villages of Herat province and some parts of Northern-Afghanistan. They used to speak the Moghol language.[1] The Moghols sometimes call themselves "Shahjahan", because some of them joined the army of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. Previously, Moghol villages could be found in Ghor, throughout the Hazarajat, and as far east as Badakhshan.[2]
