Talk:Miani (Pashtun tribe)

Potential links
Potential links are the first instances of:
 * clans, subclans, and locations, where possible.
 * For Powindah, there is a Powindah disambiguation page and the only mention of tribes is Kochi people. Is this the right article to link to?

Where the places are small, there may not be articles, but where there are articles, it would be great to link to them.

You can find other articles by searching on the names of places, clans, etc. to see where there are existing articles. Sometimes the names might be a little different, like searching on "Pathan tribe" returns Pathans of Punjab and Pathans of Uttar Pradesh. So, then the question is - do one of these apply. If so, then you'd add the link to the article that applies. If you still want it to say Pathan tribe, the way to do that is Pathan tribe, or whatever article it should point to as the first part of the link.-- CaroleHenson (talk) 21:52, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

Potential source
Is it possible that this tribe Miana, Miani, Mian, etc. is of the same tribe? This group are fishermen and have villages in the Sind. And/or a group called the Miani that were in India and members of Pathan nation in India - see column 2, Pathans?-- CaroleHenson (talk) 01:02, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
