They are known for their unique situation of being Yousafzai individuals settled far from their original homeland and speaking the Central dialect of Pashto, while still maintaining their Yousafzai heritage. [4] [5] The tribe traces its lineage back to Hassan Khan Yousafzai, an adventurer from Yousafzai county, [6] who initially settled in Kurram before his descendants migrated to Ghoriwala.
