History of Almani

The word Almani is the Alemanni or Alamanni were a confederation of Germanic tribes on the Upper Rhine River during the first millennium. First mentioned by Cassius Dio in the context of the campaign of Roman emperor Caracalla of 213, the Alemanni captured the Agri Decumates in 260, and later expanded into present-day Alsace and northern Switzerland, leading to the establishment of the Old High German language in those regions, which by the eighth century were collectively referred to as Alamannia. In Arabic, Germany is also called with the name of Almani and was living in the form of tribes.

The word Almani is taken from German former Province called “Allman” and with the passage of time some families decided to drift from Germany to Palestine (Baitul-muqaddas). At that time they were Christian and reason of exodus was to reach for veneration at holy place (Baitul-muqaddas), there already lived Latin which were also belong to Christian community. A Covenant was retained with Latin that we will defend the Baitul-Muqaddas from outsider assailant. Both Almani and Latin remained 10 year together and familiarized agricultural reforms, Established new schools & colleges and make Palestine affluent, thriving and well-healed place in the world.
Fortunately, Muslims were prevailing to achieve more area to spread the nimble of Islam. Salaḥ ud-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub (1137-1138), under his personal leadership, his forces attacked seventeen times on Palestine. Both Almani and Latin scrapped bravely, but at last his forces overwhelmed the activists. When Salah-ud-Din Ayubi come into Palestine and proclaimed that Almani & Latin must leave the city as soon as possible.
At the end, Both Almani & Latin left the Palestine and feasted in different areas i.e. France, USA, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Pakistan. In Pakistan, they came at District Jhang and embraced with Islam but with passage of time they moved in different part of Pakistan in the form of tribes i.e Jhang, Shorkot, Ahmad pur sial, D.G Khan, MuzaffarGarh, Sargodha, Joharabad, Khoshab, Okara, Sadiqabad.

“When Almani grasped in Pakistan, they start bodily in the form of tribes because there were already a tribe system in Pakistan. They came in Pakistan by ephemeral from Afghanistan and some people says that Almani is the sub Cast of baloch but could not find in history that Almani is the sub cast of Baloch. Almani is a inimitable name which is never be a sub cast, but in Sindh they like to call Almani baloch.”
