Aimaq people

The Aimaq, Aimaq Persians[6] (Persian: ایماق, romanized: Aimāq, Pashto: ایماق, or Chahar Aimaq (چهار ایماق), also transliterated as Aymaq, Aimagh, Aimak, and Aymak, are a collection of Sunni and mostly Persian-speaking[7] nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes.

[8] They live mainly in the central and western highlands of Afghanistan, especially in Ghor and Badghis.

[13] The Aimaq are largely nomadic to semi-nomadic goat and sheep herders.

The material culture and foodstuffs of the Aimaq include skins, carpets, milk, dairy products and more.

They trade these products to settled peoples in return for vegetables, grains, fruits, nuts, and other types of foods and goods.
