{{Unreferenced section|date=April 2010}}
Baraki Barak has historically been home to the [[Ormur]] tribe, also known as "Burki" or "Baraki", and to other [[Pashtuns]] and [[Tajiks]]. The town is named after the Baraki people, some of whom still speak the [[Ormuri]] (Baraki) language; they live to the northwest and west of the town, and also inside the town.
