Language that is spoken in the south of Iran mainly in the province of Fars (especially the district of Larestan ) by Laris or Achomi, a Shiite and Sunni south-west Iranian ethnic group . The language is a descendant of the Middle Persian language . In addition, Larestani is spoken by some Huwala.
The Perso-Arabic script is used.
Dialects and distribution
Because the Achomi region is widespread, there are different Larestani dialects and some minor differences in grammar. For example, in some places people say " raftam" for "I went" (very similar to the Persian " raftam" ), in other places like Lar the Larestani say Chedem ( Kurdish : dichim or dechim) instead .
Larestani is spoken in the cities of Lar , Gerash, Juyom, Evaz, Khonj, Bastak, Khour, Kowreh, Fedagh and many others, so there are local dialects and variations accordingly.
Larestani is closely related to Persian , but also to Bashkardi dialects and Kurdish .
Arabian Peninsula
Some Iranians who emigrated from southern Iran to the Arab states of the Persian Gulf at the beginning of the 20th century still speak this language at home. Their larestani, however, was somewhat influenced by the Arabic language.
