Dehwar

The Dehwar are an ethnic group of the Balochistan region of Iran and Pakistan. They have traditionally been settled agriculturalists (in contrast to the nomadic Baloch), and they speak a variety of Persian close to Dari and Tajik. The may be descendants of settled local populations predating the Baloch migration. In the Khanate of Kalat from the 17th century and later, the community was the source of recruits for the state's bureaucracy.
