Wadeyla واديلا is the name of a Baloch tribe in Balochistan, Makran.

Jadgali-speaking Baloch tribes

They are an offshoot of the greater Mengal tribe who had to migrate westwards during the reign of Abdullah Khan[disambiguation needed] of Kalat in the early 18th century. Migrating from Wadh brought them the name Wadeyla, as is found with any other tribe in Balochistan that a tribe keeps changing its name as it moves on to find a new settlement. The Lasharis and Magasis are for example one and the same tribe but just getting different names on the basis of the fact that they lived at separate places. Assuming simply on the basis of the fact that a few clans of Wadhela tribe speak Jadgali in Bahu or elsewhere this is simply because of their origin the wad in fact in present days there are large number of Sindhi (jadgali)speaking tribes living in the region like Langos mengal and all the other have welcommand on the Sindhi

Meer Mubarak wadela was the principal kauhda or headman of kulanch and a Mengal by origin, his ancestors having migrated from Wad. He lived at Nokbur and was one of the most influential men in kech. He was married to the daughter of Meer Khudadad, Headman of the Rais of Turbat, who in his turn married Meer mubarak's mother on her first husband's death. These two men were largely responsible for the troubles which took place in 1898. Meer Mubarak held his hands revenue-free both from the Gichki's and the Khan in virtue of his position and of the assistance he gave in collecting the revenue of Kulanch. He also received an allowance of Rs. 40 per mensem from the Makran revenues. He ranked next to the kaudha of Dasht and is the second of the supporters of the Sardar of Kech.
