This article is about the ethnic group in Western Afghanistan. For the ethnic group in Central Iran, see Ferozkohi. For the Iranian poet, see Seyed Karim Amiri Firuzkuhi.
The Firozkohi (Pashto: فیروزکوهي) are a sub-tribe of the Chahar Aimaq ethnic group in Afghanistan, one of the four major Aimaq tribes, which also include the Jamshidi, Taymani, and Taimuri.[1] The Firozkohi speak the Aimaq dialect of Dari Persian and Pashto. They claim Achakzai Pashtun descent.[2] They are named after Firozkoh, the medieval capital of the Ghurid dynasty.
The Firozkohi are semi-nomadic and inhabit the valleys of the Murghab River,[3] largely in Badghis Province.
