Yes, Taliban means students and it is from Arabic. There is no such a thing as
Afghani language. Here is what an Taleban ambassador said about origins of the
movement:
"It first started in a village in the southern province of Afghanistan, called
Kandahar. It happened when a war-lord, or a commander abducted two minor girls
and violated them. The parents of those girls went to a school and asked the
teacher of the school to help them. The teacher of that school, along with his
53 students, finding only 16 guns, went and attacked the base of that
commander. After releasing those two girls, they hanged that commander, and so
many of his people were also hanged. This story was told everywhere. BBC also
quoted this story. Hearing this story, many other students joined this movement
and started disarming the rest of the warlords. This same students movement now
controls 95% of the country including its capital. Only a bunch of those
warlords are remaining in the northern corridor of Afghanistan."

online but
:haven't found one yet. Also, the simple work "al"- does it mean "the"?
