Taliban, or Taleban comes from the Arabic word for student, طالب 'Talib' and is pronounced different from place to place. For instance, 'Marhaban' an arabic greeting is often pronounced 'Mirhaban' depending on the region of the world in which it is spoken. (I know Arabic isn't really spoken in afghanistan, but the root is still Arabic).
Strange: I don't think you are right about your premise, but I do agree with your conclusion, unfortunately.
