[edit] Discussion on Baloch Tribe Speaking Jadgali

The ethnicity of the Wadeyla tribe is not Jadgal but they are simply an offshoot of the greater Mengal tribe who had to migrate westwards during the reign of Abdullah Khan of Kalat in the early 18th century. Migrating from Wadh brought them the name Wadeyla, as is found with any other tribe in Balochistan that a tribe keeps changing its name as it moves on to find a new settlement. The Lasharis and Magasis are for example one and the same tribe but just getting different names on the basis of the fact that they lived at separate places. Assuming simply on the basis of the fact that a few clans of Wadhela tribe speak Jadgali in Bahu or elsewhere this is simply because og their origin the wad infect in present days there are large number of Sindhi (jadgali)speaking tribes living in the regin like Langos mengal and all the other have welcommand on the Sindhi infect the tribal chief of mengal tribe Sardar Atta Ullah Khan Mengal also speak jadgali in his home but thats not mean that he is not mengal or is a jadgal and that the Wadeylas are Jadgals is naive. What about those Wadeyla clans living in different parts of Balochistan especially Kulanch who speak Balochi as their sole language. The language never suggests one's ethnicity but it is suggestive of one's interaction and social contact. So this offshoot of the Mengal tribe simply kept on embracing the local language wherever it made its abode, be it Jadgali or Balochi. And as far as the assertion that they migrated during the times of Chakar is concerned, this is contradicted by the fact that nothing like this is mentioned in the Balochi traditions and folklore, this being a mere fantasy.if the wadeylas claim that they are mengal then why cant speak bravi which is spoken by mengals in majority but the wadeylas speak balochi or jadgali none of mengals i ever seen speak jadgali as their native language another thing there is no proof in baloch history of wadeylas connection with mengal tribe which is assumed as a rind baloch or orginelly afghan tribe by major historians the local pakhtoons of balochistan and even of afghanistan claims that the mengals are orginelly afghans who migrated towards balochistan there are still a lot of mengals in afghanistan who dont know a single word of balochi or brahvi and claim their salves as pakhtoons.

Any of you have any information about this so please include that in this artilce and please dont include any thing which is base less........

Ata Ullah Mengal he is the chief of mengal tribe he speak Jadgali not baravi and its not nessaray all mengals or wadyela speake baravi then they called mengal or wadyela otherwise not.
