The Ormur (), also called Burki or Baraki (), are an Eastern Iranic people and Pashtun tribe mainly living in Baraki Barak, in the Logar province of Afghanistan and in Kaniguram, in the South Waziristan district of Pakistan.
==Background== The Pashtun warrior-poet Pir Roshan, born in 1525 in Jalandhar, India, belonged to the Ormur tribe. He moved with his family to their ancestral homeland of Kaniguram in Waziristan, from where he led the Roshani movement against the Mughal Empire.
