From afgānis (“Afghan”) +‎ -isks.

afgānisks (definite afgāniskais, comparative afgāniskāks, superlative visafgāniskākais, adverb afgāniski)

1. Afghan (relating to the Afghan (Pashto) people, their language and culture; relating to the peoples of Afghanistan, their languages and cultures)

English “Afghan” as an attributive adjective usually corresponds in Latvian to afgāņu, the genitive plural form of afgānis (or, more exactly, puštunu, the genitive plural form of puštuns “Pashtun,” “ethnic Afghan,” since, like English Afghan itself, afgānis can in principle refer to a member of any ethnic group from Afghanistan). The adjective afgānisks is commonly used as a predicate (“this is Afghan”), or in its adverbial form afgāniski.
