List of Hazara tribes

The Hazaras are an ethnic group originally from the Hazaristan (Hazarajat) region in central Afghanistan. Although their ancestral homeland is located in this mountainous area, Hazaras are now dispersed throughout Afghanistan and have established sizable communities in cities such as Quetta, Pakistan, and Mashhad, Iran, as well as in other regions globally.

The Hazara people are composed of several major tribes. Some of the most prominent Hazara tribes include Sheikh Ali, Jaghori, Jaghatu, Qara Baghi, Muhammad Khwaja, Behsudi, Dai Mirdad, Turkmun, Uruzgani, Dai Kundi, Dai Zangi, Dai Chopan, Dai Zinyat, Qarlugh, and Aimaq Hazara, among others. These tribes trace their origins to Hazaristan, a region that includes areas such as Bamyan, Ghor, Ghazni, Orozgan, Daikundi, Maidan Wardak, Parwan, Balkh, and more. Today, Hazara communities are dispersed across Afghanistan, parts of Pakistan and Iran, as well as other regions with significant Hazara populations.
