Langah is a historical tribe and surname found in Balochistan (Lasbela), Sindh and south Punjab.
[8][9][10][11] The tribe continued to be an important power in the Multan region under their various chieftains.
During Humayun's retreat, their chieftain Bakhshu Khan Langah controlled much of the forts around Multan.
[12] Later, Bakhshu led the Langah in rebellion against the Sur Empire establishing his independent rule over the Multan region.
[13] During the reign of Akbar, a section of the Langah held the Pargana of Shor (Modern day Jhang district)[14] while Baskhshu Langah's son Sher Ali was the Shiqdar of Qasba Deesa.
