  • Lori or Luri is a collection of southwestern Iranian dialects which are mainly spoken by the Lurs and Bakhtiari people in the Iranian provinces of Lorestan, Chahar Mahaal and Bakhtiari, Kohkiluyeh and Buyer Ahmad and parts of Khuzestan and Fars provinces. These dialects are also referred to as the “Perside” southern Zagros group . Linguists categorize Lori dialects as a distinct dialect group close to Persian dialects. The special character of the Lurish language suggests that the Lurish area was Iranicized from Persia and not from Media. SIL Ethnologue lists four Lurish language dialects, Northern Lurish [lrc], ca. 1,500,000 speakers as of 2001 Bakhtiari [bqi], ca. 2.3,000,000 speakers as of 2001 Southern Lurish [luz], ca. 875,000 speakers as of 1999 Kumzari [zum], spoken in the Musandam Peninsula of northern Oman, ca. 1,700 speakers as of 1993.
