Mangur (tribe)

Mangur is one of the largest Kurdish tribes of northwestern Iran and has a minor presence in northern Iraq. Historically semi-nomadic and war-like, they are native to a basin on the little Zab river called “Mangurayeti” in Mukriyan and also inhabit the districts and cities of Sardasht, Piranshahr, Mahabad, and Pshdar District, the latter of which is in Iraq and not considered to be a part of the geo-cultural region of Mukriyan.

Mangur was one of the Kurdish tribes in the Bilbas federation. The others were Mâmash, Piran, Zerzâ, Herki and Shekâk.
