Corrected entry: When Bond comments on Kara's appearance in Afghanistan, he says a foreign word she doesn't understand. "It means 'beautiful' in Afghan," he says. Only one problem: Afghan isn't a language. Pashto (known as Pakhto in the north) and Dari are the two major languages spoken in Afghanistan and "Afghan" is not a language or a dialect or a slang term to refer to any known language or dialect.

Correction: Bond is not going to sit there and have a conversation about linguistics and dialects with Kara. He obviously knows what language is spoken in Afghanistan (as he speaks it), but simplifies the explanation for Kara.
