I know my ancestors didn't come to Kunduz in the 19th century. THey have been there a long time ago... By the way there pashtun. THey h ave proof they were there. I don't know how or where this man/woman got this information from .. and the reference is from a non-afghan who doesnt't know much about Afghanistan. This is just stupid...claim. Most probably some idiot pakistani made this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.231.96.184 ( talk) 01:54, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
In the introduction it states the 2002 population to be 95,000. In the infobox it says 2006 figures are 264,100 and in the Kunduz Province article it says 259,497. Is there any reason for the huge disparity? Perhaps large scale population movements? Or are teh figures wrong somewhere? Xaghan ( talk) 03:31, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
Well, the only census of the country was a partial one taken by the communist government of Afghanistan in 1979, months before the Soviet invasion. It was never completed. All demographic figures for country--provincial, city or otherwise, are just estimates. These estimates are marred by ignorance and/or chauvinism of the one who estimates them (Pashtuns always underestimating others, while others doing the same to the Pashtuns). Then there is the question of people themselves not providing the correct information for the fear of the unknown: taxes, military drafting, repression of the minorities, etc. etc. So, take all the demographic figures for Afghanistan with many grains of salt.

According to most of the sources, Pashtuns form the largest group in the province followed by Uzbeks and then Tajiks. I will list some of the sources.
I am therefore reverting your edit. You are welcome to resolve your issue here first and then make your edits. Thanks ( Ketabtoon ( talk) 07:43, 29 April 2013 (UTC))
Kunduz is most definitely not a Persian or Turkic word. This section shows no citaions or evidence for this claim, but from what i have been told, the word is of Pashto origin which makes sense since majority of the population is Pashtun. I will find sources for my claim. Akmal94 ( talk) 00:28, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
Unreliable source, and Avars are not a native populous to Kunduz, the word comes from the old Pashto word for fortress called "kot" or "qot" which is also found in the modern city of "Quetta." Akmal94 ( talk) 01:18, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
In point of vue of ethymology , it is , of course a redundance like in French "le mont aigual" and so on..... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.250.230.73 ( talk) 07:56, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
