I have edited the article about the Dehwar tribe of Balochistan which I am pasting it here for your acceptance or advise. Please let me know if you find any thing to be revived.

Dehwar are a Baloch tribe inhabiting Balochistan, Pakistan. The tribe is settled primarily in Kalat, Khuzdar, Kharan, Noshkey, Sarlath, Dalbandin, and Mastung. The principal clans into which the tribe is divided are the Yusufzai, dodaki, Sanjarzai, Mandozai, Sheikh, and Khwajakhail. The leader of each tribe is called Arbab and the head of the village is called Malik and the one who helps the Malik to look after irrigation water supply is called Mirave ( Mir Aab) The word comes from Dehs, which are collective “mud” houses used in the area. Which mean a village.

The tribe has intermarried with an admixture of local peoples. The two major communities of Dehwar are the Dehwar of Mastung and the Dehwar of Kalat. Some Dehwar who have intermarriages with Brahuis speak Brahui, while all others speak Persian with some mixture of Balochi words.

Pre-20th century The Dehwars appear to have been in Baluchistan before the Brahuis rose to power in the 17th century, and according to tradition assisted the latter in conjunction with the Raisanis and Zehris to conquer Kalat from the Baloch people. The other major Brahui tribes headed the major armies in support of the Khan of Kalat known as the Sarawan and Jhalawan Lashkars. The Dehwars were generally associated with the Khan of Kalat by helping them with the administration of the state in terms of revenue and tax collection, communications, record keeping,a nd general administration of the Darbar. There was extensive inter-marriage between the Ahmadzai Rulers of Kalat and the Dehwar. In addition the Dehwars sent armed soldiers to support the Brahui rulers, with the Dehwar of Mastung sending men to the lashar of Dasta-e-Khas which was in the personal command of the Khan-e-Azam, and the Dehwar of Kalat sending men to the lashkar of Dasta-e-Doem which was commanded by the Sarawan Sardar of the Raisani tribe. [edit]Modern Dehwar have made a significant part in the contemporary history of the Baloch, and they assisted in the organizational break with feudal and tribal politics in the late 1920s, due to the formation of the "Anjuman-e Ittehad-e Balochan" (Organisation for Unity of the Baloch) in Mastung. The bulk of its leadership and membership were largely drawn from the urban bourgeoisie, large and small, educated youth, and nationalist-minded members of the clergy and tribal aristocracy. In 1935, the Anjuman was replaced by the Kalat State National Party in 1937, in order to establish constitutional rule in the Khanate with the Khan of Kalat as the constitutional monarch of the Baloch. [edit]See also Dehwari is a Southwestern Iranian language spoken by over 200,000 people in Balochistan, Pakistan. Most of the Dehwari speakers are concentrated in Mastung Khuzdar, Noshki, Kharan, Sarlath, Dalbandin, and Kalat District. This short article can be made longer.
