This is the question I've previously asked in the http://www.allempires.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12506 - Avars thread of the "Steppe Nomads and Central Asia" section but It was left without answer. So I'm posting it here.

Are there any links between the medieval Avar state in Europe and the currently living in Central Asia and Caucasus ethnic groups?
http://geo.ya.com/travelimages/az-avar.html - from Azerbaijan and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avar_language - Caucasus and also in Afghanistan.

The same question for the Khazars http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/af-hazar.html - in Afghanistan

khazars in afghanistan arent khazars from the medievals, they are Hazara mongolians who where left behind during 12th - 13th century.

And for the avars and ethnic connections, i believe there are some links but nowadays they may changed from tribe name or totally assimilated.

Avars are presented in nortwest India and are called avirs or ahirs.

A major faction of them have joined Rajput mainstream a title adopted in 12 centurary AD.
