The Chamkani live in north-eastern Kurram, at Kaniguram and around Peshawar. The Khulasat al-Ansab makes Chamkani a son of Ghori, and the 1910 Dictionary of the Pathan Tribes gives the clans as Khani Khel, Khwaja Khel, Bada Khel and Haji (Para) Khel.
The Khulasat al-Ansab says some hold the Chamkani to be only adopted, and Bellew also counts them as a branch of the Khugiani. Ibbetson suggests a Persian origin and the 1910 Dictionary calls them of doubtful origin.
دا شجره د مخزن افغاني او خلاصة الانساب پر بنسټ ده، لکه څنګه چې کیرو یې په جدولونو کې راوړې. دا دود ثبتوي: چېرته چې سرچینې یو قوم بل ځای ته منسوبوي، پورته یادونه یې ښيي.
