We will update the L1 speaker population for Dari [prs] in Pakistan.  According to the Joshua Project, Tajikis in Pakistan all speak Dari.  This change will be included in the next edition of the Ethnologue.

Dear Shayaan,

Thank you for this information about Tajiki people in Pakistan.

Joshua Project reports that the Tajiki people in Pakistan all speak Dari [prs], if you scroll down a bit more on that page (https://joshuaproject.net/people_groups/15201/pk). So I will update the number of Dari speakers accordingly.

Best regards,
