Why are there a bunch of countries in the middle of Asia that

>>129611742
because -stan is persian for 'land'

seriously, read a fucking book my melanin enriched friend

If you were capable of googling you would realize that "stan" is an old Persian word meaning land of, ie "Kazakhstan" = "land of kazakhs"

>American knowledge

>>129611742
There are no Arab countries that end in "stan" you retarded faggot. "Stan" is a Persian word as other have mentioned.

>>129611984
>>129612051
>>129612312
Then why the fuck isn't Iran called Iranastan when it's literally a Persian speaking country?

>>129611742
Who cares, just subhumans. There's literally hundreds of thousands of tribes of subhumans.

Nigger are you fucking retarded

>>129612561
why is it America instead of Americaland?
just a name formed through the years

>>129612561
Iran already means "Land of Aryans," Would be kinda redundant to put "stan" at the end of it

>>129611742
>Why are there all these stupid island countries in the United Kingdom named -land.

>>129611742
leftovers of the Mongol Empire

>>129611742
What arab country ends in stan? The stans are all in central Asia are they not?

Holy hell can you imagine if there were an ancient civilization that discovered an area like this?

They would have built a temple around it, created a mythology around it, tossed criminals into it. They would have lit holy torches and lamps from it and would have considered such fires sacred. Surviving after being thrown in would have proved your innocence

Stan just means 'land of'

Afghanistan just means, 'Land of the Afghans' and it is so with other countries too, Land of the Kazakhs, land of the Uzbeks, land of the Turkmenis(basically turks), Land of the Kyrgyzy and etc etc.

Pretty sure many of these people are just turks tho, except Pakis and Afghanis

I always wondered how the nomad thing works. Here in the states you can camp out in national parks and empty fields away from roads but most of the land is owned. Who owns the empty swaths of land in central asia?

if you mean foreigners, no. In Kazakhstan a foreigner can only rent land for up to 25 years. Kazakhs own all the land.

The black chamber was invented much before that, but there's no surviving impressions.

I wonder what the people of the stans looked like before they were raped to oblivion by the mongols.
