Razavi Khorasan:

Torbat-e Heydarieh is an imprtant town in Khorasan, but the list dosn't include it! and the right spell of "Rashtkhar" is "Roshtkhar".

Then... change it... maybe? --Cadby ^(talk) 19:34, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Meaning of Khorasan

Khorasan has a clear meaning in modern Kurdish: Rasan, as a verb in Kurdish means To Rise. Hence Khor (Sun)+Rasan(Rising) means the place from which sun rises, i.e., the East. I would be glad if someone shows me the meaning of the second part in modern Persian(the first part is obvious from Khorshid).Heja Helweda 03:48, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The name is not Persian maybe. Parthians lived there before the sassanid era and as you know the Parthian language is a west Iranian language and a close relative of kurdish. The translation you just gave is the exact meaning of that name. حضرت محمود (talk) 12:50, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation?

How is this pronounced in English? Is the "Kh" supposed to be like German "ch"? The Jade Knight 07:09, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Khorasan now known as Afghanistan

i didnt see anywhere in the article that khorasan was once the name of Afghanistan. I only see it as eastern Iran which is incorrect because during the time of the Persian Empire, Khorasan was a province including all of Afghanistan as well. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.75.39.15 (talk) 01:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Northern Afghanistan to the extent that Tajiks live today were parts of Khorasan in ancient times. I am not sure whether southern Afghanistan has always been included in Khorasan or not. حضرت محمود (talk) 12:50, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am sick of these afghan nationalist saying khorasan is the same as afghanistan. only herat was part of khorasan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.207.242.4 (talk) 05:46, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
