The Jadgal (also known as Nummaṛ or az-Zighālī) is an Indo-Aryan ethno-linguistic group which speaks the Jadgali language. Jadgals are present in the Balochistan region of Iran and Pakistan, as well as in Oman.

History

The Jadgals migrated from Sindh via Bela to Panjgur. Anthropologist Henry Field notes the origin of the Jadgals to be in the western Indian subcontinent; they subsequently migrated to Kulanch and are still found in Sindh and Balochistan. According to Ghulam Muhammad Khanzai, a Baloch nationalist of Jadgal origins, the Jadgals consider themselves to be Balochs who had originally migrated from Sindh.Regardless of their origins, they are generally seen as Baloch by the society in Balochistan.

When the Arabs arrived in modern-day Sindh and Baluchistan, they met the Jadgal at the coast of Makran where the Arab name of az-Zighālī comes from. In 1811, Saidi Balochis as well as Jadgal mercenary troops were killed in a battle with the Wahhabis against the Sultanate of Oman.

Demographics

Around 100,000 Jadgals live in Pakistan according to a 1998 census conducted by Pakistan. In Iran, the Sardarzahi ethnic group is of Jadgal origin, claiming to be from Sindh. The rest of the Jadgals number around 25,000 according to a 2008 census conducted by Iran. All of the Jadgals in Iran live in the Sistan and Baluchistan, Hormozgan and Kerman provinces.

Language

See also: Jadgali language and Sindhi language

Jadgal people in Balochistan speak Jadgali language, although they converse with strangers in Balochi. Many linguists believe the Lasi dialect of the Lasi people may be related to Jadgali.
