The Aimaq Hazaras (Hazara-e-qala-e-naw, Sunni Hazara) are the Aimaq's subtribe of Hazara origin, however they are Sunni Muslims and other Hazaras are Shia Muslims. The Aimaq Hazara consists of 38 subtribes.[2] The Aimaq Hazara and Timuri peoples are the most Mongoloid of the Aimaqs. The Aimaq people live in traditional Afghan black tents but the Aimaq Hazara and Timuri are semi-nomadic who live in yurts covered with felt.[3]
