Swati Tribe
Swatis ( Urdu: سواتی) are people inhabiting the Hazara division in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. Of Dardic origins, today Swatis usually speak Pashto or Hindko as their primary language. They ruled over the Sultanate of Swat between 1190 and 1520, before being defeated by the Yousafzai Pashtuns. Swatis originally spoke Dardic languages such as Gibri and Yadri language and were native inhabitants of Swat valley who got Pashtunized after Yousafzai occupation. Swatis are sometimes called Tajiks, a common ethnonym used by Pashtuns to describe their Dardic neighbours. Hemphil (2009) rejects Ibbetson's (1916:95-6) assertion of Swatis as a "race of Hindu origin" from peninsular India, suggesting, instead, that Swatis show a higher affinity to their neighbours in the northwest and with people in the Indus valley, to the south.Hemphill, Brian E.
