The nationality in Pakistan is Pakistani. However, Pakistan is a diverse nation comprising various ethnic groups.
Pakistan's population is made up of several prominent ethnic groups, each with distinct cultures, languages, and historical backgrounds. These include:
- Punjabi: The largest ethnic group, primarily residing in the Punjab province.
- Pashtun (Pathan): Predominantly found in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and parts of Balochistan, with significant presence in Karachi.
- Sindhi: Inhabitants of the Sindh province, with a rich cultural heritage.
- Saraiki: Concentrated in the southern Punjab region, speaking the Saraiki language.
- Muhajirs: Urdu-speaking people who migrated from India after the partition in 1947.
- Balochi: Found in the Balochistan province, known for their tribal traditions.
While these are the major ethnic groups, smaller communities also contribute to Pakistan's diverse social fabric. The majority of Pakistanis are Muslims, practicing Islam as their religion. However, minority groups, including Christians, Hindus, and Buddhists, also reside in the country. The people of Pakistan generally belong to the Asian race.
