[edit] Confusion with article

Is this a Pashtun tribe? If not, what are they? What language do they speak? Do they live only in Pakistan? I can't figure it out, the what links here seems to imply that they are Pashtun, but I don't want to add it. I'll check what the rest of the interweb has to say about it.

[edit] Clarification

They are not Pashtun, the link to "Federally Administered Tribal Areas" was incorrect, FATA is on the opposite side of the North West Frontier Province and borders Afghanistan.

The Karlal inhabit the eastern part of NWFP, in what used to be the Hazara division of the NWFP, this area was made up of the following districts Abbottabad, Batagram, Haripur, Kohistan and Mansehra.

See the map below: Hazara is area 1 in, whilst FATA is area 7.

This area borders Punjab and Kashmir and the culture and language here is markedly different from that further east.

The Karlal speak Hindko which is widely spoken in the eastern parts of NWFP and bordering areas. Pahari Sahib 02:59, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
