Hazara people
Hazāra (Persian: هزاره) are a Turko-Mongol people group who mainly live in central Afghanistan and in southwestern Pakistan.[10] They are mostly Muslims with a Shia majority and a Sunni minority. Hazaras are the third largest ethnic group in Afghanistan,[11][12][13] forming about 18%–30% of the total population.[14][8] Hazaras are also one of the biggest ethnic groups in Pakistan, native to the region of Northern Balochistan. Some Hazaras also live in Iran. Hazaras speak Hazaragi, a dialect of Persian with many Turkic and Mongolic loanwords.
