These "Mervants" are found mainly in "Chatral and Kandjut", they are also found in some parts of Afghanistan; they speak in the Chatral and Kandjut dialects (depending on where they are found); they occasionally visit Shugnan for trade purposes; they are not well regarded by the Shugnanites, and they never stay overnight in the homes of the Shugnanites.
