The Bakhtiaric language is a south-west Iranian dialect spoken by the Bakhtiar people in Chahār Mahāl and Bakhtiyāri , western Khuzestan and parts of Isfahan and Lorestan .

It is closely related to the Boir-Aḥmadī dialect, the Kohgīlūya dialect, and the Mamasanī dialect in the northwestern Fars province. These dialects, along with the Lori dialects of Lurestan (specifically the Khorramabadi dialect), are referred to as the “Persid” South Zagros group or Lori dialects .

There are transitional dialects between the South Kurdish language and Lori-Bakhtiāri ', and Lori-Bakhtiāri, in turn, can be regarded as a transition idiom between Kurdish and Persian .
