Taymani

The Taymani (Dari: تایمنی) are an Aimaq people in Ghor Province in central Afghanistan. They speak the Aimaq dialect of Persian, but some southern groups of Taymanis speak the Pashto language and feel an affinity with the Pashtuns,[1] although their Pashtun neighbors identify them as Aimaq.[2]
