Firozkohi
The Firozkohi are a sub-tribe of the Chahar Aimaq ethnic group in Afghanistan, one of the four major Aimaq tribes which also include the Jamshidi, Taymani, and Taimuri. In 1987, the Firozkohi were the second-largest Aymaq tribe after the Taymani. The Firozkohi speak the Aimaq dialect of Dari Persian, however some members of the tribe have adopted Pashto language. They are named after Firozkoh, the medieval capital of the Ghurid dynasty.
The Firozkohi are semi-nomadic, and inhabit the valleys of the Murghab river, largely in Badghis Province.Descent and origin
The traditional chiefs of the northern Firozkohi tribe are known as Zay Ḥākem. They claim descent from Achakzai Pashtun ancestors.
