Pashtun Tribes Series - Sarbani (North) Confederation

by generic_maps

The Sarbani are a confederation of various Pashtun tribes living across Pakistan and Afghanistan. They are said to be descendants of Sarban, the eldest son of Qais Abdur Rashid whom is thought to be the ancestor of all Pashtun tribes and thus the founding father of the Pashtun people. The Northern branch of the Sarbani migrated during 1490-1530 from their native homeland around Kandahar in modern day Afghanistan towards the northern slopes of the Spin Ghar mountains along with conquering Peshawar Valley and the Sultanate of Swat who ruled over the hills to the North, thereby displacing and/or absorbing the pre-existing indigenous Dardic and Hindkowan tribes inhabiting the region.

The Northern Sarbani are divided into 10 tribes within 4 sub-confederations based on descent and lineage: ■ Khakhey Khel • Yusufzai • Tarkani • Gigyani ■ Ghoriya Khel • Mohmand • Daudzai • Khalil • Chamkani • Mullagori ■ Zamand • Muhammadzai ■ Kansi • Shinwari

The Dardic Languages are a group of related but not mutually intelligible languages spoken across Northern Pakistan, Northeastern Afghanistan, Kashmir, Jammu and Ladakh.

They are part of the Indo-Iranian languages whom are ultimately a branch of the larger Indo-European language family.

The Ahom Kingdom (1228-1826) existed in the state of Assam in modern day North East India 🇮🇳 The conception dates back to 1228 wherein a group of ethnic Tai-Shan settlers arrived into the Brahmaputra Valley under the leadership of Sukaphaa from what is now Yunnan province in China, they became known as the "Ahom" or "Tai-Ahom" people The Ahoms had numerous conflicts with the indigenous Tibeto-Burman kingdoms and tribes along with larger powers such as the Mughal, leading to at times rapid expansion and assimilation & intermixing with local groups known as "Ahomization" However as time progress the Tai-Ahoms themselves became more Sanskritized and came under increasing Hindu influence, thereby leading to the Assamese language and Hinduism replacing the original Tai-Ahom language and the traditional Ahom Religion, both of which are effectively extinct in the modern day
