Turkmun (Hazara tribe)

Turkmani (Hazaragi: ترکمنی) is a main and large tribe of Hazara people in Afghanistan.[1]

Origin

These Hazaras share their history as do some other Hazara tribes, with the Turkic peoples of Central Asia.

The main place of residence of these people was in Turkman Valley[2] of Parwan Province, but today most of them are living in Kabul City. Turkmani Hazaras have their own dialect of the Persian language known as Hazaragi. Many of them follow the Ismaili branch of Islam.
