{"value"=>"<p>The Afghanistan files do not focus on a particular ethnic group. Rather, they are a small collection of disparate materials about, and from, that country. The files consist of manuscripts in Arabic and Cyrillic script, correspondence related to their provenance, transcripts of an interview with author Fayz Allāh Aymāq on Kabul radio, and collected printed matter on Afghanistan.</p> <p>The older manuscripts are of unknown date, and several appear to have been purchased through a manuscripts dealer working with sources in Afghanistan. Related correspondence indicates two of the documents are in Arabic, and one in an unidentified language thought to be similar to the Chaghatay language spoken by Chinese Turkestanis.</p> <p>The transcript (in Uzbek, written in Cyrillic) of a 1976 radio interview with Fayz Allāh Aymāq is located in box 1, folder 2. It is also available as digital sound files; see Series VII.</p> <p>Also included amongst the Afghan materials are several folders of printed matter, consisting of various article clippings on Afghanistan, a 1981 copy of the Pushto language newspaper Zeray, and newspaper clippings on the Soviet-Afghan conflict.</p>"}
