After the British military operations in 1894–95, Waziristan was divided into two "agencies", North Waziristan and South Waziristan. The two parts have quite distinct characteristics, though both tribes are subgroups of the Wazir tribe, after which the region is named,[7] and speak a common Waziristani dialect. They have a famed reputation as formidable warriors, and known for their hospitality.
