In the summer and f all of 1970, Tokyo University Scientific Expedition carried out a geographical survey of two villages in Afghanistan, of which the author was a member. The first village is a Tajik village named Kababian which is located to the east of Herat. The second one is a Pashtun village in Logar Province called Piaru-khel.In this monograph the author intends to give a general information on the culture and language of Kababian village. There the inhabitants are the Sunni Muslims, and speak Persian exclusively. Several Khwaja families are also found in the village, having no prestige originally implied in the title. Most of the villagers are farmers on the land irrigated by Hari-Rud, and a few people go to Herat to work at offices. All of them are enthusiastic or sometimes even fanatic in believing in God and observing religious obligations.Their colloquial Persian has little affinity with the Persian current in Iran, although Herat region was a part of Khurasan where Islamic and Iranian civilization once flourished. New Years celebrations are quite Afghan. The people have no such elaborate and sophisticated programs as seen in Iran.
