The original Baloch homeland probably lay on the Iranian plateau. The Baloch were mentioned in Arabic chronicles of the 10th century AD. Each tribe (tuman) consists of several clans and acknowledges one chief.
The Baloch are traditionally nomads, but settled agricultural existence is becoming more common; every chief has a fixed residence. The villages are collections of mud or stone huts; on the hills, enclosures of rough stonewalls are covered with matting to serve as temporary habitations. Baloch raise camels, cattle, sheep, and goats and engage in carpet making and embroidery. Their agricultural methods are primitive. They profess Islam.
Some 70 percent of the total Baloch population lives in Pakistan. About 20 percent inhabit the coterminous region of southeastern Iran.
The Seljuq invasion of Kerman in the 11th century AD stimulated the eastward migration of the Baloch.
