Rakhshani (tribe)

They mostly live in Qalat and Lasbela, which is located in the Rakhshan Division.

[1] Some sources say that the Rakhshani tribe came from the ancient city of Merv and migrated to Balochistan.

[2] Nearly 19,000 people migrated across Afghanistan to the region of Qalat.

The Khanate of Kalat included many Rakhshani nobles, and the population was mostly Rukhshani.

[6] An important figure in Rukhshani literature is Aqil Khan Mengal, who wrote in both the Makrani and Rukhshani dialects of Balochi.
