HistoryThe Kho people are likely descendents of those who arrived in the region during the Indo-Aryan migration.[3] The Kho people formerly observed a form of ancient Hinduism and Buddhism.[4] During the Mongol invasion of India in the 1200s, many of the northern Kho converted to Islam.[5] DemographicsHistorically the Kho people reside in the Dardistan region. As such, they are a Dardic ethnic group located primarily in South Asia. Many of the Kho people live in the Chitral District of the Pakistani province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and a smaller number also live in Ghizer District of Gilgit Baltistan (including the Yasin Valley, Phandar Ishkoman and Gupis). In addition, a sizeable community of Kho people are found in Jammu and Kashmir, India.[1] They are also found in few numbers in northern Afghanistan, where the majority of them live in the northern provinces of Badakhshan.[6] CultureKho culture places heavy emphasis on poetry, song and dance. Kho people also have a great respect of law and order. Much of this can be attributed to Chitral being a stable kingdom for most of its history,[7] where the rule of law and the will of the ruler came before tribal concepts such as revenge and isolationism. Because of Chitral's location at the crossroads of Central Asia and South Asia, the Kho display a wide variety of cultures, largely depending upon their ancestral ethnic group and family history. LanguagesThe Kho people speak the Khowar language, a member of the Dardic subgroup of the Indo-Aryan language family. The ethnologists Karl Jettmar and Lennart Edelberg noted, with respect to the Khowar language, that: "Khowar, in many respects [is] the most archaic of all modern Indian languages, retaining a great part of Sanskrit case inflexion, and retaining many words in a nearly Sanskritic form.”[8] Khowar is spoken by about 247,000 Kho people in northern Pakistan,[9] and 19,200 Kho people in northern India.[1] Some of the Kho people use Urdu as a second language.[1] Folk music{{refimprove section|date=August 2017}}Folk singers and reed instrument players have a special respect in the Kho society and are featured in their festivities. The most common instruments are Surnai Shehnai, Sitar, and reed instruments. The Kho sitar is a popular musical instrument in Chitral. It is made out of mulberry wood with five steel strings arranged in three courses, the outer ones have double strings, tuned in unison, while the inner course is single. Popular music of the area includes:
