		The older name for the region was Kafiristan and the languages were termed Kafiiri or Kafiristani, but the terms have been replaced by the present ones as being less pejorative, for kafir means "infidel".
		The recent view is to classify Nuristani as an independent branch of the Indo-Iranian superstock, but a few would class it with the Indo-Aryan languages group, while another would characterize it as originally Iranian, but greatly influenced by the nearby Dardic languages of the Indic group.

		The actual language of Afiyat was Kalashamun, a language which is distinct and separate but linguistically related to Khowar.
		Afiyat spoke her own language of Kalasha, but she had also learned the distantly related language of Khowar.
