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. Hassan Khan Yousafzai belonged to the Gadezai branch of the Ilyaszai Yousafzai clan.[7] Presently, the population of the Mughal Khels is estimated to be in the tens of thousands.[8][9][10]
