Baharna
The Baharna (Arabic: البحارنة) are an Arab ethno-linguistic group who mainly inhabit the historical region of Eastern Arabia and the Gulf area. They are generally regarded by scholars to be the original inhabitants of the Bahrain archipelago.[1] Regions with most of the population are in Eastern Arabia (Qatif, Ahsa, Awal), with historical diaspora populations in Qatar, Kuwait, Emirates, Oman, Iran and Iraq.[2] Some Bahrani people are citizens of other countries such as the United States, England, Scotland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway.
