Aymāq
The Aimaq ( fa, ایماق, Aimāq) or Chahar Aimaq (), also transliterated as Aimagh, Aimak and Aymaq, are a collection of Sunni and mostly Persian-speaking nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes. They live mostly in the central and western highlands of Afghanistan, especially in Ghor, Badghis. Aimaqs were originally known as ''chahar'' ("four") Aymaqs: the ''Taymani'' (the main element in the population of Ghor), the ''Firozkohi'' (mostly in Badghis), the '' Jamshidi'' and the '' Timuri''. Other sources state that the Aimaq Hazara are one of the ''Chahar'', with the Timuri instead being of the "lesser Aimaqs" or ''Aimaq-e digar'' ("other Aimaqs"). The Aimaq speak several subdialects of the Aimaq dialect of the Persian language, but some southern groups of Taymani, Firozkohi, and northeastern Timuri Aimaqs have adopted the Pashto language. Origin and culture The Aimaqs claim different origins based on their tribal background. Some claim to be descended from the troops of Genghis ...
