Afridi (Pashto: اپريدي, Urdu: آفریدی, Hindi: आफ़रीदी), classically called the Abaörteans (pronounced /ˌæbiɔrˈtiːənz/; Latin: Abaortae), is the name of a Pashtun (Pathan) tribe. The Afridis inhabit about 1,000 square miles (3,000 km²) of rough hilly area in the eastern Safed Koh range, west of the Peshawar Valley and east of Torkham, and Maidan in Tirah, which can be accessed by the Kajurhi plains and the valleys of Bara and Churah. Some Afridi clans also inhabit India, most noted are the Kuki Khel of Jammu and Kashmir and in some parts of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar.[1][2][3] The tribe contains about 415,000 people.
