The Nezak Huns, also known as Nezak Shahs, were a significant principality that existed in the south of the Hindu Kush region of South Asia from around 484 to 665 CE. They are traditionally identified as the last Hunnic state, although their exact ethnicity remains a matter of debate and speculation.
Here are some key points about the Nezak Huns:
Capital: Their capitals were Ghazna and Kapisa.
Languages: They used the Pahlavi script for writing and Middle Persian was commonly spoken.
Religion: The Nezak Huns practiced Buddhism and Hinduism.
Government: They had a nomadic empire with rulers known as Nezak Shah.

The Nezak Huns rise to power after the Sasanian Empire’s defeat by Hephthalites. Their founder have been a Huna or an indigenous ruler who accepted tributary status of huns.
