Tanoli
The Tanoli are a tribe living mostly in the Hazara area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. They form the majority of the population of Lassan Nawab union council. The Tanoli describe themselves either as Pashtuns from the Ghazni area or as Barlas Turks. The Tanoli submitted to the British colonial rule in the 1840s. They have two major divisions, namely Palaal and Hindaal. As per a Genetic Analysis of tribes residing in Buner and Swabi, through Dental Morphology and DNA Analysis, the most prevalent Y chromosomal haplogroup among the Tanoli is R1b1, with very small contribution of R1a1, a genetic characteristic unlike Ghilzai Pashtuns. LM20 and other South Asian lines are also present as well but to a little extent.
