Durrani Empire

1747–1823 Afghan empire founded by Ahmad Shah Durrani

The Durrānī (, ), formerly known as Abdālī (), are one of the largest tribal confederation of Pashtuns. Their traditional homeland is in southern Afghanistan (Loy Kandahar region), straddling into Toba Achakzai in Balochistan, Pakistan, but they are also settled in other parts of Afghanistan and parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
