The Jaḍgāl (; also known as, Jatgal, Nummaṛ or az-Zighālī) is an Indo-Aryan ethno-linguistic group which speaks the Jadgali language. Jadgals are present in the Balochistan region of Iran and Pakistan, as well as in Oman. History Jadgal people are often connected with the Jats of Balochistan. They migrated from Sindh via Bela to Panjgur. Anthropologist Henry Field notes the origin of the Jadgals to be in the western Indian subcontinent; they subsequently migrated to Kulanch and are still found in Sindh and Balochistan. Regardless of their origins, they are generally seen as Baloch by the society in Balochistan. When the Arabs arrived in modern-day Sindh and Baluchistan, they met the Jadgal at the coast of Makran where the Arab name of ''az-Zighālī'' comes from. In 1811, Saidi Balochis as well as Jadgal mercenary troops were killed in a battle with the Wahhabis against the Sultanate of Oman. The modern-day Jadgals in Oman claim to be descended from Arabs ...

Med People
The Med are an indigenous fishermen and historically seafaring community from the coastal areas of Makran in Balochistan, Pakistan. History Although there is some ambiguity regarding the origins of the Med community, it is certain that they are of non- Baloch extraction and pre-date Baloch migration into Makran. Meds can be possibly identified with the Ichthyophagi (lit. "fish-eaters"), who are stated by Arrian to be inhabitants of the coast of Makran in the 4th century BCE. They were mentioned in the early Muslim historiography as seafarers; some of them carried piracy as '' Bawarij'' in the Indian Ocean from their harbors in Debal, Kutch and Kathiawar, to as far as the mouth of river Tigris and Ceylon. The incident in which they captured two treasure ships coming from Ceylon to Basra became ''casus belli'' for the 7th century Umayyad invasion of Sindh. Arabs fought several wars against Meds to subdue them, including a naval expedition to Kutch in the 9th century. Meds wer ...
