Langaw (tribe)
(Redirected from Lango tribe)
Langaw (Balochi: لانگو), also spelled Langau or Langove, is a Baloch tribe present in Pakistani Balochistan, though other communities can be found in Punjab and Sindh. Langau’s are mostly Balochi-speaking but may also be Brahvi-speaking.[1] Three salient sub-tribal Langau identity-groups are the Sardar khail , Halizai and Shadizai.
They are unrelated to the Langah (clan) of Southern Punjab.[2][3]
