Extensive Definition
Lone (Hindi: लोन, Urdu: لون) is a
Kashmiri
tribe in the Kashmir
region of India and Pakistan. It is
also used as family name.
The Lone tribe is based mainly in North Kashmir,
although in the past few centuries there has been gradual diffusion
of the tribe throughout the valley of Kashmir. However, even now
the tribe is concentrated in the Kupwor district of the Kashmir
valley.
Although the vast majority of the Lone tribe
speak Kashmiri as their
mother tongue, significant numbers speak Shina, especially
those who live in the Gurez valley.
