Ghorbati
Ghorbati (self-designations also Mugat and Hadurgar) is an ethnic group, an originally nomadic community in Iran and Afghanistan, as well as Central Asia where they are part of the various communities termed Lyuli. They are widespread in Iran, from where they have migrated to other regions over the centuries. Many are Shia, with a significant Sunni minority. They either trace their ancestry to Sassanid Persia, or to Arabs, including Syeds. In 1976–77, the Ghorbati in Afghanistan numbered 1,000 families (ca. 5,000 people). Some settled in Peshawar, Pakistan. Some subgroups are connected to the Basseri and Qashqai people, Qashqai tribes. Their traditional occupations include carpentry, smithery, peddling, manufacturing and sale of small goods of domestic use, prayer-writing and livestock dealing. Older women also practiced fortune telling and healing. Because of female participation in the workforce, which goes against the established gender norms of the region, they are looked dow ...

Persian Romani
Ghorbati (or Qorbati), also known as Magadi (Mogadi), Qazulagi and Jogigi, Lafzi Mugat or Arabi/Arabcha in Central Asia, refers to various argots, spoken by the Ghorbati and closely related peoples, often called “Persian Gypsies” or “Central Asian Gypsies”. There is no proof of any historical connection between any of these peripatetic groups and the Roma or Dom peoples, except for the fact that some use a few words that are apparently of Domari origin. These argots are related to Lotera’i, or Judeo-Persian. The Ghorbati of Afghanistan is not identical to the various varieties from Iran, but they are closely related. The base is local Persian, with many words rendered incomprehensible by means of phonetical manipulation, as well as a large number of terms which are of Semitic (Aramaic and Hebrew, as well as Arabic) origin. This vocabulary originated from the Banu Sassan and Sufis, and is quite widespread throughout the Islamic world. The name of Magati, another secret ...

Abdal Of Turkey
The Abdal ( tr, Abdallar or ) are a Turkish-speaking with much Turkmen grammar socio-cultural Indo-Turkic people group found mainly in central and western Anatolia, and some live in Istanbul, who follow an itinerant lifestyle.

Standard Of Living
Standard of living is the level of income, comforts and services available, generally applied to a society or location, rather than to an individual. Standard of living is relevant because it is considered to contribute to an individual's quality of life. Standard of living is generally concerned with objective metrics outside an individual's personal control, such as economic, societal, political and environmental matters – such things that an individual might consider when evaluating where to live in the world, or when assessing the success of economic policy. In international law, an "adequate standard of living" was first described in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and further described in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. To evaluate the impact of policy for sustainable development, different disciplines have defined Decent Living Standards in order to evaluate or compare relative living experience.

Urbanization
Urbanization (or urbanisation) refers to the population shift from rural to urban areas, the corresponding decrease in the proportion of people living in rural areas, and the ways in which societies adapt to this change. It is predominantly the process by which towns and cities are formed and become larger as more people begin living and working in central areas. Although the two concepts are sometimes used interchangeably, urbanization should be distinguished from urban growth. Urbanization refers to the ''proportion'' of the total national population living in areas classified as urban, whereas urban growth strictly refers to the ''absolute'' number of people living in those areas. It is predicted that by 2050 about 64% of the developing world and 86% of the developed world will be urbanized. That is equivalent to approximately 3 billion urbanites by 2050, much of which will occur in Africa and Asia. Notably, the United Nations has also recently projected that nearly all gl ...
