اَفْغَانِسْتَان is the name of the country Afghanistan.

The romanization is afġānistān.

While اَفْغَانِسْتَان is the official name, Afghans often refer to their homeland simply as وطن, meaning 'homeland' or 'fatherland'.
Writing اَفْغَانِسْتَان in the Nastaliq calligraphic style makes the words flow diagonally, which is often preferred for artistic or patriotic inscriptions over the standard Naskh script.
The word افغان inside the name is related to the ethnic group 'Pashtuns', although Dari is a variety of Persian.
