Punjabis in Afghanistan, also referred to as Afghan Punjabis, are residents of Afghanistan who are the descendants of Punjabi settlers. In present-day, most of the community consists of Muslims, who used to speak a group of related Punjabi dialects which are reported to be extinct. There was, historically, a community of Sikhs and Hindus amongst them, which in recent years has left the country to avoid persecution.^[3]
