Khuzdar (Balochi: هزدارء‍ِ دمگ‎; Urdu and Brahui: ضلع خضدار) is a district in the Balochistan province of Pakistan.

In November 1992 part of the territory of Khuzdar was split off to form the new district of Awaran.

[4] Towns and cities in Balochistan are not as big as compared to other provinces generally due to scarcity of water and abundance of arid and wastelands.

The city of Khuzdar is situated on National Highway linking Pakistan, Iran and Turkey.

During the period of Arab rule, this region formed the province of Turan, with Khuzdar as the capital.

The major tribes in the district are Gongav, Bizenjo, Mardoi Jattak, Hasni, Siapad, Nausherwani, Sajidi, Zehri, Mengal, Zarakzai, Ahmadzai' Rekizai ' Sasoli ' Kurd' Rind,Lund,Alkhani,Buzdar, Rustamani, Kaloi,and Jamali.

The city of Khuzdar is situated on National Highway linking Pakistan, Iran and Turkey.

Sindhi is mostly spoken in Karakh sub-division[14] The majority of the population is made up of Brahui-speaking tribes [15] and according to the 1981 census Brahui was the first language in 82% of households, followed by Balochi with 13%.

[16] In the 1998 census, which did not gather data for Brahui, 96.7% of the population reported their language as Balochi, and 1.0% as Punjabi.

Access to education for girls is a major issue in the district and is also reflected in the low literacy rates for females.
