The Balochs of Punjab (Urdu: پنجاب کے بلوچ; Saraiki, Punjabi: پنجاب دے بلوچ) are a community of Saraiki and Punjabi-speaking Baloch tribes settled in the Punjab province of Pakistan. The majority of Baloch in southern Punjab, including Dera Ghazi Khan and Rajanpur, which adjoin the province of Balochistan, identify as "Saraikis" or "Saraiki Balochs" and natively speak Saraiki, while a minority still speaks Balochi.[1][2] However, in central and northern Punjab, the people of Baloch descent identify as "Punjabis" or "Punjabi Balochs" and natively speak Punjabi.[3]
