Shinwari
The Shinwari are an ethnic tribe in Afghanistan.
Shinwari translates into the English language as Simon.
The Shinwari tribe is also found in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas controlled by Pakistan, though there is no longer any true political connection between the Shinwaris of the respective countries.
Among the greatest poets of the Pashto language in the 20th century was the late Ameer Hamza Shinwari, also known as "Hamza Baba" and "Father of the Ghazal".
Shirani
Sherani or Shirani is a Pathan tribe of Pashtun origin, living predominantly in modern Pakistan and Afghanistan.
During early 20th century, the tribal group, also called as "Sheranis", is recorded as living on the Dera Ismail Khan border of the North-west Frontier Province of India during the British Raj, and was a part of "The Sherani Agency". The agency occupied an area of 1500 mile² and had a population of 12,371 according to 1901 census. The Sheranis occupied the principal portion of the mountain known as the Takht-i-Suliman and the country thence eastward down to the border of Dera Ismail Khan district. They were bounded on the north by the Gomal Pass, and beyond that by the Mahsud Waziris; on the south by the Ustaranas and Zmarais; and on the west by the Haripals, Kakars and Mandu Khels.
Suri
The Suri are a Pashtun tribe. One theory about them is that the Suri Pakhtun were people brought from Syria by the son of Seljuks prince. The Suris and Nuhanis are descended from Ismail's (the son of Ibrahim Lodhi) two sons Sur and Nuh.
Tanoli
The Tanolies (also spelt Tanauli, Tanawali) are a prominent and famous Muslim Pakhtun tribe residing mainly in the Amb, Hazara district of NWFP Pakistan. They have ruled the state of Amb of Hazara whitch started from the beginning of 18th century.During the the late 17th century,Turks were overthrown by swatis in areas of upper Hazara. Tanolis, however, remained loyel to Turks till end of latters rule in Hazara.Tanolis later on put up the vigorous rebellions against the Sikhs in the 19th century. They also allied with Ahmed Shah Abdali in his conquest of India. Many Khans and princes of their dynasty have gained mass popularity as heroes. The origin of the term Tanoli is due to later corruption of the name Tanawali[citation needed]. It is a Hazara custom to change names etc. from the original. For example in Tanawal the name Gohar Aman is usually pronounced as Gohriamaan, Hussain khan to Sain khan, Ahmed khan to madd khan and Mubarak Shah to Marak Shah - there are countless examples of this in different parts of Hazara - this is the most plausible explanation for the term as the oral and written history of Tanawal is fiercely holding on to their age-long belief that they originate from Afghanistan from a pass known Tanaubal or Tanawal [citation needed]. Therefore, to assign any other origin of the name Tanoli is not only against the cultural norms and tribal history of the area but also a distortion of History.
