Shaqaqi (Kurdish: شەقاقی ,Şeqaqî, Persian: شقاقی)[1][2] is a Kurdish tribe in Iran.[3] Its branches nowadays live in East Azerbaijan, Razavi Khorasan and North Khorasan provinces of Iran. They mainly speak Azerbaijani language and are Shiite Muslims.[3][4] Albeit sharing similar names, today they differ from the Shekak tribe,[5][6] who are Sunni and speak Kurmanji.[7]
History
The Shaqaqi tribe has been described as brave warriors and they trained officers of soldiers of the Qajar dynasty since the reign of Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar.[8]
