They speak [[Balochi Dialects|Balouchi]] and [[Sindhi language|Sindhi]]. A large number of the Samma tribe lives in Sindh too which are Samma sub-castes like Mundra, Roonja, Lasi, Abro etc.

The Samma are an old tribe settled in [[Sindh]] and [[Balochistan (Pakistan)|Balochistan]]. The most famous ruler of [[Samma]] was '''[[Jam Nizamuddin]]''' <ref>[http://www.hindu.com/mag/2004/04/11/stories/2004041100590800.htm The Hindu - The world's largest necropolis]

The Jams of [[Lasbela]] reside in Balochistan and they speak [[Lasi]].
The Samma dynasty ruled in Sindh and parts of [[Punjab region|Punjab]] and Balochistan from 1351-1551 A.D. The Samma dynasty declined and was replaced by the [[Arghun Dynasty]]. After the demise of the JAM TAMACHI Samma dynasty the [[Nawab]] migrated along with his brothers and tribal members leaving their once thriving land of [[Nagar-Samma]] to parts of [[India]] and settled in [[Gujrat]]. A vast Village in Gujrat is now settled by the descendants of the 4 tribal leaders who were also blood brothers.
One of the brothers is recorded to have migrated back to Sindh and settled the lands on the outskirts of [[Thatta]] known as [[Sikhaat]] - famous for its rose farms. The village in Gujrat Known also Nagar-Samma consists of many thousand of acres of cultivatable and non cultivatable land an accurate size is not known.
The Samma dynasty has left its mark in Sindh by the building magnificent structures including the necropolis of kings and royalties in Thatta and many more ruins.
Jam dynasty also ruled in Balochistan and leaves marks in Balochistan too.
