To me they seem to parallel Arabic nomads in their general lifestyle and what I can glean of their social structure. I always figured Skooma was that world's version of hashish. The accent sounds Hispanic, though, almost like the male voice actor was trying to do an impression of Antonio Banderas or The Most Interesting Man in the World (the actor explicitly stating that he got the accent from an Argentinian friend of his, and Spanish is the dominant language of that country from what I understand).

So to me they're basically Arabic nomad merchants with Spanish accents.
