Timuri

The Timuri or Taimuri (Persian: تیموری) are a sub-tribe of the Aimaq people of Afghanistan and Iran, one of the major Aimaq tribes, which also include Jamshidi, Aimaq Hazara, Firozkohi, and Taymani.

[1][2] The Timuri originated in western Badghis Province.

In Iran, they live in the former Khorasan Province and around Mashhad.

There is also a small group of Pashtunised pastoralist Timuri in Baghlan Province in northeastern Afghanistan.

[3] Johnathan Lee notes that in 19th century accords, the Taimuri were often confused with the Taimani, but as the Taimuri were generally a small tribe living in Persian territory, it is usually the Taimani that chroniclers intended to note.
