The Wardak (Pashto: وردګ) or Wardag live in central and eastern Afghanistan, mainly in Wardak Province.[2] They migrated to the Wardak province in around 1730.[3] The Wardak people are divided into Mirkhel, Mayar, and Nuri sub-clans. The Wardak live in all of the province's districts, and form the majority of people in the Saydabad, Chak Wardak, Jaghatu, and Day Mirdad (Jilga) districts of central and southern Wardak. They speak the Pashto language and many also speak Dari-Persian. Both are the official languages of Afghanistan.[4]
