The Wazirs or Waziris (Pashto: وزير) are a Karlani Pashtun tribe found mainly in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border region. The Utmanzai Wazir are settled in the North Waziristan and Bannu Subdivision Wazir and the Ahmadzai Wazir and Mahsud wazir are in the South Waziristan, and in Domel, Bannu.[1][2][3] Those subgroups are in turn divided further, for example into Utmanzai tribes such as the Baka Khel and Jani Khel.[4] The Wazirs speak the Waziristani dialect of Pashto which is similar to the neighboring Banuchi and Dawari dialect but still distinct.

The common ancestor of the Ahmadzai and Utmanzai is believed by them to be the eponymous W also ancestor to the Mahsud wazir tribe that has since taken a distinct and divergent path. Through Wazir, the tribes trace their origins to Karlani and thence to the founder of the Pashtun lineage, Qais Abdur Rashid.[5] Some western ethnologists consider them of being mix of Arachosian or Tatar ethnicity.[1]

Although the Utmanzai and Mehsud tribes have a traditional rivalry and live in geographically distinct regions,[6] the Ahmadzai and Mehsud communities co-exist peacefully and many head men are connected by marriage.[1]
