AFSHARS—
A tribe of Persians who are spread over Kirman, Fars, Luristan, and Khu-
zistan, and round the lake of Urumieh. No good account of them is available.
They are said to be of Turkish origin and to speak a dialect of that language.
Morier says their two principal branches 'are Shamlu and Karklu, and
they number 20,000 families. They principally reside in towns and are
to be found in great numbers at Ab-i-Vard, the birthplace of Nadir Shah,
who was of the Karklu branch of this tribe, and at Kalat, the place so care
fully peopled and strengthened by that conqueror. The Afshars are looked
on with great suspicion by the present dynasty of Persia. They were
one of the seven Turkish tribes to whom Shah Isma’il Safavi owed
much of his success, and to whom, in consequence, he gave the name of
Kizil Bash. Napier adds that Shah Isma’il Safavi, who brought the clan
from Azarbaijan, whither they had emigrated in the track of Tartar traders
from the banks of the Jaxartes, settled there in the open valley of the
Qibqan, in which are the hamlets of Darband and Qibqan, the first village
in the state of Darreh Gaz.
