Never seen it spelled that way til now. Thanks for the info. Taleban makes me think of book burning (Tale Ban).

The Brits have been spelling it Taleban since they became news-worthy back in 2001. (Gee, wonder why.) You really haven’t seen a single UK news story about the Tal”e”ban in the last 8 years? Wow.

The Taliban (Taleban) makes me think of dead/captured/arrested jihadis.
