Persian dialects in Khuzestan


There are a number of Khuzestani Persian dialects and accents unique to the province of Khuzestan in southwestern Iran.

There are two main regional classifications, in addition to less common varieties:

These are generally unintelligible to speakers of Modern Standard Persian and are related to and are rooted in old Persian and Elamite languages.

Those regional variety of Kouzestani accents are much closer to Standard Persian than Khouzestani dialects and are easily understood by the average Persian-speaker elsewhere in Iran.

Persian dialects of Khuzestan are halfway between north Iranian dialects and Dari dialects, or midway between Modern and Classical Persian dialects.

Note that native Khuzestani Persian speakers can interchange colloquial and formal dialects in conversational speech.
