TAN—TAN
Where the district is flat the surface is generally an alluvial clay, often
covered with good natural grazing and sometimes cultivated with cereals.
Travelling is rendered difficult by mud in wet weather. The water
of the Ahram stream is almost undrinkable, and the district water-
supply depends everywhere upon wells. The climate and seasons of
Tangistan resemble those of Dashti. The Tangistan coast possesses no
remarkable features : off: the coast the tidal stream is so weak as to be often
imperceptible.
Population.
The population of Tangistan may be roughly estimated at 10,000 souls.
The people belong to various tribes of which little is known. Among these
are the Darhiru, Darshamal, Jamali, Khazaru, Kutu, and Zandabud, but
they are generally mentioned in the aggregate as Tangistanis. The in
habitants of Samal and Abad are said to be immigrants of ancient times
called Zanganeh, from the interior of Persia, and those of Tal Slab are said
to be Aghayan from ^Iraq-i-^Ajam. In religion they are Shfahs and they
speak the Persian tongue. Notwithstanding their proximity to Bushire
town, they live in a rude and uncivilized state; blood feuds flourish among
them and their name continues to be, in Bushire town, a synonym for law
lessness, brutality, and ignorance. The houses in the villages are mostly
huts of date-leaves plastered with mud, but some are built of stone.
The former Khan (Haidar Khan) who was driven out by Zair Khidar
in 1911 was of Arab origin, belonging to a tribe called Fulad. The follow
ing is a genealogical table of his family.
