Hint: The term tribe is used in many different contexts to refer to the category of human social groups. The main usage of the term is in the discipline of anthropology. This definition is controversial, partly because the theoretical understanding of society and kinship structure conflicts, and it also reflects the application of the concept in an extremely diverse human society.

Complete Answer:
Balochi is Iranians living mainly in the Balochistan region on the southeastern tip of the Iranian Plateau in Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan. There are also diaspora communities in neighboring regions, including in India and with a significant diaspora in the Arabian Peninsula. They mainly speak Balochi, the language of northwest Iran, in contrast to their location in the southeastern pedosphere. About 50 percentages of the total Baloch population live in Balochistan, the western province of Pakistan. 40 percentages of the Baloch population reside in Sindh; and a large number of Baloch in Punjab, Pakistan. They make up nearly 3.6 percentages of Pakistan's population, about 2 percentages of Iran's population (1.5 million), and about 2 percentages of Afghanistan's population.
Culture: Gold jewelry such as necklaces and bracelets are an important aspect of the Baloch women's tradition. Among the most popular were clothes and heavy earrings tied around the head with a gold chain so that a heavy load did not injure the ears.

Note: The majority of Baloch in Pakistan are Sunni Muslim - 64.78 percentages belong to the Deobandi movement, 33.38 percentages belong to the Barelvi movement, and 1.25 percentages belong to the Ahl-i-Hadith movement. There is a small number of Shia Muslims (0.59 percentages).
