Pashtun tribal structure

The Pashtun tribes in Asia are divided into four confederacies: Sarbani, Bettani, Ghurghakhti, and Karlani. The oral tradition of the Pashtuns holds that these are descended from three own sons (Sarbaṇ, Beṭtan, and Ghurghasht) and one adopted son (Orməṛ), respectively, of Qais Abdur Rashid, the folkloric ancestor of the Pashtun people.
