Mengal

The Mengal (Persian مینگل) is a tribe with about 250,000 people in Balochistan. Mengal tribe speak Brahui; a Dravidian language that has been heavily influenced by other Iranian languages spoken in the area, especially Balochi.[1][2]. The Mengal are now closely linked to the Baloch people, with whom they have substantially intermingled and whose cultural traits they have absorbed.The tribe can be divided in two major branches: Zagar Mengal and Shahizai Mengal.
