Jalal Khan (Urdu: جلال خان) is a legendary figure in the history of the Baloch people who led the Baloch from Persia to Makran.^[1]

Jalal Khan had four sons, Rind Khan, Hoth Khan, Lashar Khan, and Kora Khan, and a daughter, Bibi Jato, who was married to his nephew (and her cousin) Murad.^[2] Jalal Khan also had two known brothers, Mir Ali and Mir Nos.^[3] One of his known grandsons is Mir Aalii, son of King Hoth and his great grandsons include Mir Dostein Hoth from the story/folklore “Sassui Punnuh”.^[4] Baloch tribes derive their eponymous names from Jalal Khan's children, these five are believed to be the founders of the main Balochi divisions: Rind, Lashari (Laashaar), Hoth/Hooth, Korai and Jatoi.

He may be the same as Jalal ad-Din Mingburnu, the last ruler of the Khwarezmian Empire.

Not much is known about his ancestry and the origins of Baloch people in general.

Forty-four tribes were formed in the 12th century while Jalal Khan was the ruler.^[5]

All 150+ tribes/sub tribes/clans of the Baloch are his direct descendants.
