In Afghanistan the major languages are Eastern Farsi, Southern Pashto, Hazaragi, Turkmen, Southern Uzbek, Aimaq and three other languages spoken by 200,000 people.
In the Philippines the major languages are: Filipino, English, Bikol, Cebuano, Hiligaynon, Ilocano, Maguindanao, Pampangan, Pangasinan and Waray-Waray all spoken by more than 1 million people.
I question whether Afghanistan will ever be a country. Most people I know, who have spent time in the Philippines, doubt that the Philippines is a nation. It might not be if weren't separated from neighbors by ocean.
