The list of Lodi sub-tribes

Lodhi (Pashto: لودهی) is a Pashtun tribe of the Bettani Pashtun confederacy. It consists of a number of sub-tribes, most of which are settled in the Tank, Lakki Marwat and Dera Ismail Khan districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, with smaller population found in Punjab and Azad Kashmir. These tribes were nomadic for most of their history and migrated to their present-day locations by crossing the Gomal Pass throughout different times.

Two sub-tribes among the Lodhi established their own empires: the Sur tribe established the Sur dynasty and the Prangi tribe established the Lodhi dynasty.
