Bizenjo

Bizenjo (Brahui: بزنجو) is an ethnic Brahui tribe inhabiting Balochistan province in Pakistan.[1][2] The tribe belongs to the Jhalawani branch of the Brahui tribes.[3] According to the official list by Mir Ahmad Yar, the last Khan of Kalat, Bizenjo was originally one of the Jatt tribes inhabiting the region; the others being Zehri and Mengal.[4][5] Though the Bizenjo in eastern Makran are Brahui by origin, they have been Baluchified in language and customs due to a prolonged residence in Makran.[6]
