Jat

In the article state cited:

:ccording to the official list by Mir Ahmad Yar, the last Khan of Kalat, Mengal was originally one of the Jaṭṭ tribes inhabiting Balochistan

but the source doesn't support the material as iranicaonline

Elfenbein, Josef (1989). "Brahui". In Yarshater, Ehsan (ed.). Encyclopædia Iranica. Vol. IV/4: Bolbol I–Brick. London and New York: Routledge & Kegan Paul. pp. 433–443. ISBN 978-0-71009-127-7.

:The tribes now making up the “Brahui nation” are twenty-seven in number; eight of them “nuclear” and nineteen “peripheral.” The list in Table 13 is based on the official list of Mīr Aḥmad Yār, the last khan of Kalat. It is to be noted that at the height of the confederacy in the 18th century the traditional list included only fifteen tribes (the eight “nuclear” tribes and nos. 10-12, 14-17). All tribes now have members living in the large towns. The largest of the “peripheral” tribes is the Mengal. This tribe and nos. 9, 10, and 15 comprise more than 80 percent of the population of this group.

it doesn't say that. I've removed that personal commentary. Balash-Vologases (talk) 05:19, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Have you really gone through the table? This is what it notes "Traditional origins in parenthesis".[1], and later notes their origin to be Jaṭṭ. It's supported by the source. Sutyarashi (talk) 09:26, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You added Jat in the text citing Encyclopædia Iranica as source to proof your statement, but I found no such mention in that source. Please quote where in the source it cites Mengal and Zehri are the Jat!!

and where is the table in that source?

Haven't checked the rest of the cited citations yet. Balash-Vologases (talk) 15:38, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I just checked the citation, and you're right - But it cites Habitat above chagai, Saravan, Jahlavan and etc. It indicates location, not origin or root. Didn't cite Mengal is Jat.Balash-Vologases (talk) 15:45, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Traditional origins in parenthesis", go through the table again. Sutyarashi (talk) 16:24, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted. Balash-Vologases (talk) 17:22, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
