Tanoli

Hindko Turkic tribe

The Tanoli (Hindko/Urdu: تنولی، تناولی) are a Hindkowan tribe living mainly in the Hazara area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.[1][2] They form the majority of the population of Lassan Nawab union council.[3] The Tanoli never submitted to the British colonial rule in the 1840s.[2][page needed] They have two major divisions, namely Palaal (پل آل) and Hindaal (ہند آل).[4] In present day, the majority of the Tanolis speak the Hindko language.

Genetics

A genetic analysis of tribes residing in Buner and Swabi found that the most prevalent Y chromosomal haplogroup among the Tanoli is R1b1, with a very small contribution of R1a1, a genetic characteristic unlike Pashtuns. L-M20 and other South Asian lines are also present but to a small extent.[5]
