The Tanoli (Hindko/Urdu: تنولی، تناولی) are a Hindkowan tribe living mainly in the Hazara area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.[1][2] They form the majority of the population of Lassan Nawab union council.[3] The Tanoli describe themselves as Barlas Turks. They never submitted to the British colonial rule in the 1840s.[2][page needed] They have two major divisions, namely Palaal (پل آل) and Hindaal (ہند آل).[4] In present day, the majority of the Tanolis speak the Hindko language.
