Dalak people

The Dalak are an ethnic group found mainly in western Afghanistan. Technically, the word dalak is derived from the Arabic word dalaka which means to rub. Their preferred self-designation is now Salmani, as the word dalak is seen as offensive, and the community were traditionally associated with the profession of barbering.
