Ziaraat: Difference between revisions

The root name "Ziaraa" is, according to Ziaraa folk lore, derived from the name of a tribal leader and the founder of Pay Takht. Ziaraa was killed by his brother who was in turn killed by Ziaraa's son. Ziaraa's son then finished the city and renamed his tribe after his father. Moham Hallat I Ziaraat, however, states that the word "Ziaraa" applies to every citizen of Ziaraat but ethnic Ziaraas typically call non-ethnic Ziaraas "bhay" which is the Ziaraa word for foreigners.
