Английская Википедия:Afghan units of measurement
Материал из Онлайн справочника
A variety of units of measurement have been used in Afghanistan to measure length, mass and capacity. Those units were similar to Iranian, Arabian and Indian units.[1] In 1924, Afghanistan adopted the metric system.[2][3]
Length
Source: Afghanistan Gazetteer, 1980. These lengths are not necessarily standardized and could differ between different regions of Afghanistan.[4]
- 1 gaz-i-shah (Kabul yard) = 1.065 meters (m)
- 1 girah-i gaz-i-shah = 0.066 m
- 1 gaz-i-mimar (mason's yard) = 0.838 m
- 1 gaz-i-jareeb (for land) = 0.736 m
- 1 jareeb (one side) = 44.183 m
- 1 biswah (one side) = 9.879 m
- 1 biswasah (one side) = 2.209 m
- 1 jareeb (land measurement) = 2,000 m² (standardized)
- 1 goes = 1.16 m (45.67 in)[1]
Weights
Source: Afghanistan Gazetteer, 1980[4] and Naval Postgraduate School, 2009[5]
- 1 nakhud = 0.19 gram (g)
- 1 misqal = 24 nakhuds = 4.4 g
- 1 khurd = 110.4 g
- 1 pao = 441.6 g
- 1 charak = 1766.4 g = 1.77 kilogram (kg)
- 1 seer = 30 miskals = 7066.0 g = 7.07 kg
- 1 man = 40 seers = 4.5 or more kg
- 1 kharwar = 80 sers = 100 mans = 565,280.0 g = 565.28 kg
- 1 puri = just under 1 kg
- 1 khaltar = approximately 7 kg
Localized differences
British sources from the late 19th and early 20th century described some Afghanese weights as follows:
- 1 Herati seer = 8 tolas = Шаблон:Frac British (Indian) seer
- 1 Herati man = 40 seers = 4 seers British
- 1 Herati kharwar = 100 mans = 10 maunds British
- 1 Mazar seer = 1 Шаблон:Frac Kabuli seers (11 Шаблон:Frac) British seers
- 1 Mazar man = 16 Mazar seers = 4 maunds 20 seers British
- 1 Mazar kharwar = 3 Mazar mans = 13 maunds
- 1 kadam or gaz-i-shari (Turkestan) = 28 inches (pace) = 16 tasa
- 1 farsakh (Herat) or 1 sang (Turkestan) = 12,000 kadam = 5 miles
- 1 grain per kulba (southern Afghanistan) = 50 Kandahari kharwars
- 1 Tashkurghan seer = 9 British seers
- 1 Taskhurghan man = 8 seers = 1 maund 32 seers British
- 1 Kandahari yard = 41 Шаблон:Frac inches British
- 1 tanab (Kandahar) = 85 acres British
