{{short description|Tarkalanai Pashtun tribe}}
The '''Salarzai''' are one of the four [[Tarkani]] clans. They inhabit [[Afghanistan]] as well as what is now [[Buner District]] and [[Bajaur District]] in [[Khyber Pakhtunkhwa]]. In 2014, they may have been the majority tribe among the area's 600,000 population. In common with some other tribes of the area, it has been reported that they have formed militias to oppose the [[Taliban]].<ref name="un">{{cite book |title=Addiction, Crime and Insurgency: The Transnational Threat of Afghan Opium |publisher=United Nations Publications |year=2014 |isbn=978-9-21054-308-8 |page=127 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HTh5TgUaOfMC&pg=PA127}}</ref>
