Abstract
Chitral, also Chitrar or Qashqar (District Census Report of Chirral 1998: 13), is known to the people
of Peshawar, Bajaur and Swat by the same name. While the inhabitants of the region would love to
call it Khowistan that means the 'land of Khow' speaking Khow language (Khowar), which is spoken
in Chitral and some parts of Ghizer district (Ghufran 1962: 12-13). Most historians have mentioned it
as Khowistan, some called it Bilor, while others have mentioned it as Naguman that is why the River
is also called River Naguman when it enters the Peshawar Plain (ibid).
