NAMES and IDENTIFICATION a) Preferred name of language for code element denotation: Afghan Sign Language b) Autonym (self-name) for this language: c) Alternate names and spellings of language, and any established abbreviations: Sometimes abbreviated as AFSL in publications, and referred to in sign language as Afghan Sign. d) Reason for preferred name: It seems to be the consensus among users, both hearing and deaf. e) Name of ethnic group or description of people who use this language and approximate population of users, if in use today: The Deaf of Afghanistan, crossing ethnic lines. The main centers are Jalalabad and Kabul right now. In Jalalabad is the only school for the deaf in the country, and the national association for the Deaf has its office in Kabul. Most of the students at the school are ethnic Pushtuns and so would probably consitute the largest number of Deaf Afghans who use AFSL. There would be deaf among all of the ethnic groups of the country, however, and AFSL users among the major ethnic groups, like Pashtuns, Tajiks and possibly Uzbek, Turkmen, Pashai, etc.

  • Afghanistan Population of Afghanistan: 34.6 Million (2016 Estimate)
    Caring for the Health of Refugees and Immigrants with Disabilities Afghanistan Population of Afghanistan: 34.6 million (2016 estimate) Afghanistan is a mountainous, landlocked country bordering Iran, Pakistan, China, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan that has suffered from political instability and military conflict for several decades. After constant political upheaval and invasion from outside forces, the Taliban came to power in 1994. The United States invaded Afghanistan after the September 11 attacks in an attempt to overthrow al-Qaeda. This war is largely the cause of the current refugee crisis. Constant conflict and political upheaval have left the economy and infrastructure in ruins. Earthquakes, droughts, and other natural disasters frequently exacerbate the existent vulnerabilities faced by communities. Additionally, violence against aid agencies has caused suspension of programs, contributing to lack of care. Afghanistan is one of the world’s poorest countries, and endemic poverty is common. Afghanistan has been in a state of conflict since the 1970’s, causing many to face housing and food insecurity, as well as barriers to accessing clean drinking water, medical care, electricity, and employment. The country’s health status is one of the worst in the world, with higher maternal, infant, and under-five mortality rates than neighboring countries. Among those individuals who face adverse health conditions, those with disabilities are among the most vulnerable. The Afghan government does not provide reliable data on the true number of individuals with a disability. According to USAID, Afghanistan has one of the highest populations of persons with disabilities. International organizations have estimated that 4% of the country’s population has a disability and USAID has estimated that one in five Afghan households has a person with a disability.
