Pashtoon is from the British word for the ethnicity. Pakhtoon is the actual word in the language of the ethnicity.

Basically, British people came along, met and fought the Pakhtoon people, and adopted the word in its anglicised form as Pashtoon.

Its like how Vindaloo and Bind Aloo are the same thing, just the latter is the actual words and the former is the anglicised version.

Nice info.. so its linguistic difference.. No bifurcation as to area.

BTW whats Bind aloo?
