The Turk Council.

. .
I heard Turkic blood is present among as many as 50% of Pakistanis (mixed ancestry). I consider Pakistanis to be honorary Turks when culture (e.g. cuisine) is taken into account.

That’s not accurate, but our Hazara region has entire villages of Karlugh Turks that have now lost their language. The people of Turkic background may have lost their language, but still identify strongly with their roots.

The Karlugh Turks (Urdu: ترکوں قارلوق‎) are a prominent Karluk Turkic tribe that resides mainly in the Hazara region of current Pakistanand in Azad Kashmir. These Karlugh Turks formed a Turki Shahi dynasty and ruled the state of Pakhli Sarkar for over 200 years from 1472 to 1703.
