Swatis are a Pashtun tribe mostly inhabiting the Hazara District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan. They are mostly agricultural and are the biggest land owning tribe in Mansehra and Batagram Districts (Feudal Tanawal excluded). Swatis are divided into four major tribal clans: Gabri, Mitravi , Mumyaali and Toar. The majority of them speak Pashto, but in towns like Mansehra, Balakot, Naran, Kaghan and Garhi Habibullah they also speak Hindko. Their code of conduct and customs are similar to Pashtunwali, called it Swatiwali.
Swatis are sometimes referred to as Suwadis and Servatis.
