The closest I could find was ?tomban? and is a type of trousers worn
by Afghans. I found only a very few references though.
?My aunt went to the bank where she worked, she was wearing a blouse
and a skirt. A young Mujahed said to her he would kill her if he saw
her again without tomban (trousers) under her skirt. She was scared.
She had to go home and sew herself a pair of tomban, as she had none
from before. It was the same Mujahed who later came with several
armed men and forced her family to give her in ?marriage? to him.?

Among some Pushtun nomads, unmarried girls wear long cotton black
kamis, kamiz, or gamis (also called payran or payrahan; a long, loose
shirt) and a red shatwar (Dari; tomban or yizar, Pashto) or baggy
pantaloons, to indicate their status. Married women wear a kamis which
reaches to. within six inches of the ankle, flowing blue pantaloons, a
head covering called parvani in Dari or poraney in Pashto, and often
leggings (paychah).?

?Enforcing their own extreme brand of Islam -- women mustn't work
outside the home, girls mustn't go to school and are ready for
marriage at age nine, men must let their beards grow, they must wear
the pehran-tambon and turban -- they soon alienated Afghans who had at
first lauded their arrival.?

The two national languages in Afghanistan are Pashto and Dari but
there are 30+ Iranian and Indo-European based languages in that
region. |
