Kushi (Persian: کشى‎‎, Balochi also Urdu, Pashto, Kurdi and Hindi Devanagari: کشى, happiness or marriage) is a mountain near Shaki Ram about 23 km from Qalat(Persian: قلات‎‎) Kalat, Pakistan Balochistan. The two mountains are removed by a unifying about 5 km. It seems that the two mountains belong together and is a mountain ridge. The mountain is located below the Durand Line between Afghanistan and India (now Pakistan) in the field of Baloch people. It is located not far from the similarly-named Kush mountain. The Balochi language is one of the four major Iranian languages (Paschto, Balochi, Kurdi and Persian).
