Does anyone know what is the root for the "an" ending in names of Middle East and central asian countries?
Afghanistan
Pakistan
Tajikistan
Kyrgyzstan
Iran
Uzbekistan
Turkmenistan
Oman
Jordan
....more?
Was it named by some common language or something. Jordan, Iran and Oman are the only ones without the "tan" ending but nevertheless end in "an."
