Distribution of Chaharmahali Turkic spoken as a native language
Chaharmahali Turkic (Chaharmahali Turkic: چارمحال توْرکیسؽ) is a proposed
Oghuz Turkic variety spoken in
Iran's
Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, and western
Isfahan province, where it is described as "Esfahan Province Turkic" by linguists.[4] It is an understudied and generally unclassified variety of
Oghuz Turkic distinct from
Azerbaijani and
Qashqai, being closer to the latter.[5] Chaharmahali Turkic is not to be confused with "
Chārmāhāli," a
Persian dialect spoken in the same region.[6]
Language Distribution
The Atlas of the Languages of Iran (ALI)[7] published a point-based and polygon language distribution map of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province and several linguistic data maps.[8][9][10]
