In western Punjab, and some parts of Haryana (for example, in Karnaal and Kurukshetra), Virks are supposed to belong to the Mahe dynasty, and Manhas or Minhas are considered to be brethren of the Virks. Birk and Virk gotras are of the same origin. The pronunciation is different only due to linguistic differences.
