The Jadgal (also known as Nummaṛ or az-zighālī) are a Sindhi-Baloch ethno-linguistic group who speak the Jadgali language. They are found in the Balochistan region of Iran and Pakistan.[citation needed]
History[edit]
Many historians believe that the Jadgal were the original natives of Balochistan before the Baloch arrived.[citation needed] The Arwal and Manjotha tribes of Dera Ghazi Khan are of Jadgal origin. When the Arabs arrived in modern day Sind and Baluchistan, they met the Jadgal at the coast of Makran where the Arab name of az-zighālī comes from.[1] Many Jats in Pakistan are actually of Jadgal origin.
Demographics[edit]
Around 100,000 Jadgals live in Pakistan according to a 1998 census conducted by Pakistan.[2] In Iran, the Sardarzahi ethnic group is of Jadgal origin, claiming to be from Sindh.[citation needed] The rest of the Jadgals number around 25,000 according a 2008 census conducted by Iran.[3] All of the Jadgals in Iran live in the Sistan and Baluchistan province.[4]
Language[edit]
Most Jadgals speak their native Jadgali language. It is one of the Sindhi languages and one of the only two native Indo-Aryan languages spoken in Iran.[5] Many linguists believe that the Lasi language of the Lasi people may be related to Jadgali.[6]
