The Jahangiris (1190-1520), a Tajik dynasty, were the original Sultans of [Swat][1].* They ruled in parts of modern Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The Jahangiri also > appears to survive as a sept of the Gibari. Sultan Awes, the last Sultan of Swat, was expelled from this territory along with his Tajik subjects. They settled near the source of the [Oxus River][5], where they ruled for several more generations "as far as the frontier of [Badakhshan][6]." Wikipedia has little on this particular dynasty, but a few details may be found in this article on [Sikandar Butshikan][7]: > His cousins were ruling the area from [Kabul][8] to [Sind][9] ([Indus][10]). They had > been ruling Kabul lagmant and [Swat][11] in 1190–1520, are known as > Jahangiri dynasty in history.
