Langaw (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. Three salient sub-tribal Langau identity-groups are the Sardar khail , Halizai and Shadizai.

They are unrelated to the Langah (clan) of Southern Punjab.
