Yousafzai translates into English as "The Sons of Joseph": Yousaf = Joseph, zai = son of. Their spoken langagues is Pashto, which the Yousefzai are considered to have the most pure spoken form of.
Other spellings include:
- Euzefzai
- Yusefzai
- Yosefzai
- Yousefzai
majority of them r in pakistan and live in the areas of mardan malakand and swabi
Actually the Pashtun's living in Swat are also for the most part Yousafzai's. And while these residents of Swat may be referred to as Swati's there is in fact no Pashtun tribe of that name. Pashtun's own pronounciation of "Yousafzai" would sound as "eeSupzaye" Quite often they have trouble pronouncing the letter "P".
