Harnai (Pashto: هرنای, Urdu: ہرنائی) town serves as the administrative headquarters of Harnai District in the Balochistan province of Pakistan. Until 2007, the town was in Sibi District.[2]
It is located in the northeast of Balochistan province. The town is surrounded by the cities Ziarat, Loralai and the provincial capital, Quetta. The population is predominantly Pashtun followed by Baloch. The language spoken in the town is Wanetsi or Tareeno mainly spoken by Spin Tareen's, a unique and archaic dialect of Pashto.[2]
There is also a thinly populated tribe in the town named Wanechi (not to be confused with Wanetsi language). The town is inhabited by majority of Pakhtun tribes like Tareen, Mushwani and Kakar and minority of Marri and Baloch.[2]
