In Pakistan, its easily an east-west division, no debate. But within Pashtuns, the genetic (& presumably phenotypic) and linguistic division is mainly north-south rather than east-west.
With multiethnic countries it varies, but with most monoethnic countries, the divide tends to be usually more north to south. But there are some monoethnic countries with a greater east to west division, usually those whose west to east border is longer than their north to south border (e.g. Czechia, Ukraine, Hungary, etc).
Within the ethnic Turk regions of Turkey, would the division still be east to south or more north to south? I'd imagine it'd be more of an inland-coastal division, but maybe more north-south than east-west.
