Hindkowan

Hindkowan is a general term used to identify speakers of the Hindko language in Pakistan. In fact this is not a specific ethnic grouping or category properly speaking, and comprises diverse elements in the Attock district of Punjab, the Hazara region in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and in Mianwali District and Dera Ghazi Khan areas of Punjab (Pakistan) where Saraiki is spoken.

However, over time, this linguistic category or grouping has come to be linked to various indigenous regional demands and aspirations and is now thought to be an ethnic group in itself.
