The Dehwar are an ethnic group of the Balochistan region of Pakistan and Iran. They have traditionally been settled agriculturalists (in contrast to the nomadic Baloch). They speak Dehwari, a variety of Persian close to Dari and Tajik. They may be descendants of settled local populations predating the Baloch migration. In the Khanate of Kalat from the 17th century and later, the community was the source of recruits for the state's bureaucracy.[citation needed]
The Dehwar's are usually found in Quetta City, Balochistan- The most populated city in Balochistan. They are Iranian-Baloch settlers who travelled from the touching border of Iran and Balochistan.
The Dehwar's are also located in vast majority in Mastung - Balochistan.
