| '''Yousafzais''' have great history of bravery against their rivals through out the over past centuries esp against the Pashtun tribes ], ], ] and some others. But some Historians have different views as they were have the support of Mughal King Babur against the different Pashtun tribes even the soldiers and chiefs of Moghal Army took part in Wars to win for them. '''Suleman shah''' was the elder of Yousafzais when '''Alag Baig''' was the ruler of ]. Bibi Mubarka of Yousafzai had been honored as Queen of the King Babar. '''Shiekh Mali''', '''Khan Kajo''', '''Shah Mansoor''' and '''Malik Ahmed''' are the worth moentioning personalities of the tribe.

Yousafzais migeratted from ] to refudge in the plains of ] and the hilly areas of ], where nine hundred Chiefs heads have been chopped off by '''Mirza Alag baig''' in the late 14th century.

| And while these residents of Swat may be referred to as Swati's there is in fact no Pashtun tribe of that name in Swat. The original Pashtun Tribe ''']''' now lives in Hazara and some in Dir of N.W.F.P of ], where '''Swatis''' defeated the '''Turks''' and captured the hills and plains of Pakhali (now called '''Hazara division'''. So now the people living in Swat are totally Yousafzais and if someone calling him Swati would be considered wrong. | |||
| Pashtun's own pronounciation of '''Yousafzai''' would sound as "eeSupzaye" | |||
| Quite often they have trouble pronouncing the letter "P". Some of the famous clans and subsections of the Yousafzais are Eessa, Moosa, Malizai, Akozai, Chagharzai, Orba, Madakhel and Bazikhel. | |||
