| | Shabak (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) |
 | | The Shabaks live in the region of Mosul, Iraq, and are united in culture and language, but they cover more than one ethnic group and among them there is more than one religion. |
 | | Still, during recent decades, the Shabak have faced the hardship of being dislocated, as an initiative of the central Iraqi authorities to destroy their cultural identity. |
 | | A common theory, is that the Shabak are of Turkomen origins, and migrants from Persia in the 17th century. |
