Brahui
The Sunni Brahui is another distinctive group settled in the
desert areas of southwestern Afghanistan. They numbered about
200,000 in 1970 according to an estimate by Louis Dupree;
estimates in the 1990s run lower. The basic Brahui physical type
is Veddoid of South India, and they speak Brahui which is allied
to Dravidian, a major language of South India, with a heavy
mixture of Balulchi and Pashto. Brahui mostly work as tenant
farmers or hired herders for Baluch or Pushtun khans. Larger
communities of Brahui reside in Pakistan's Baluchistan
Province.
