  • Khattak tribe in Nowshera district

    The Khattak tribe, which is one of the largest Pashtun tribes, is mainly settled in the Karak,Kohat and Nowshera districts of Pakistan.
    In Nowshera district, the town of Akora Khattak is inhabited by the "Akora" branch of Khattak tribe and they speak the local dialect of Pashto, unlike the Khattaks of Karak and Kohat.
    My question:
    Which branch of Khattak tribe is living in Cherat/Saleh Khana/ Kotli Kalan?
    And is their dialect similar to Khattaks of Karak or have they adopted the northern Pashto dialect that is prevalent in the Peshawar valley?

          Well im from nizampur(inzari to be exact) and cherat is pretty close to my area and well i didnt know this before but after seeings vlogs of a youtuber sikkutube(he is from cherat) ive come to know(i also asked my father as he grew up in the village and stuff unlike me) that they speak the central dialect like they speak in karak,bannu and stuff.[unrelated] The dialect in my village tho is pretty weird considering it is a very nice mix between northern peshawri hard dialect and the quetta soft dialect where we pronounce some words with the hard kh sound and some with the sh sound and same with other words of the pashto language that vary between the north ans south. Kinda cool actually cuz it helped me understand/learn many pashto dialects.

            I get it. 2 more questions though:
            What branch of Khattak tribe lives in Cherat?
            Secondly, which branch of khattak tribe do you belong to?
