Languages spoken Hazaragi, Dari, Pashto, Uzbeki  The Hazarajat
(Persian: هزاره جات‎‎, Hazaragi: هزاره جات, also referred to as
Hazaristan[2]) is a regional name for the territory inhabited by
the Hazara people, which lies in the central highlands of
Afghanistan, among the Koh-i-Baba mountains and the western
extremities of the Hindu Kush. Its physical boundaries are
roughly marked by Bamiyan to the north, the headwaters of the
Helmand River to the south, Firuzkuh in Ghor to the west, and
the Unai Pass to the east. "Hazārajāt denotes an ethnic and
religious zone rather than a geographical one—that of
Afghanistan's Turko-Mongol Shiʿites."[3]  Hazarajat is
