Dehwar
Dehwar is a Persian (Dehwari), Balochi and Brahvi speaking Baloch tribe of the Balochistan region of Iran and Pakistan. They have traditionally been settled agriculturalists (in contrast to the nomadic people), they mainly speak a variety of Persian called Dehwari. They may be descendants of settled local populations predating the Baloch migration. In the Khanate of Kalat from the 17th century and later, the community was the source of recruits for the state's bureaucracy. They have been settled in their lands for centuries.
