Gujarati Pathans are a group of Pashtuns, who are settled in the region of Gujarat in western India. They now form a distinct community of Gujarati and Urdu/Hindi speaking Muslims. They mainly speak Urdu/Hindi with many Pashto loanwords, but most of them have been Indianized so some may have Gujarati as their first language as well, few elders in the community still speak Pashto. Common tribes include Turk pathan, Babi or Babai (Pashtun tribe), Niazi, Khan, Bangash, Durrani, and Yousafzai.[1][full citation needed]
