BAKHTIARIS

They dwell in the high grounds of Zard Kuh mountain (Zagros range to the west of Esfahan ) extending to the south of Esfahan, and around Shahr-e Kurd, with winter quarters in Khuzestan, particularly the kinder plains around Dezful, Susa, and Ramhormoz. They are divided into two main groups, the Haft Langand the Chahar Lang, subdivided in turn into several tribes and sub-tribes or tayefeh.

         

 

Most Bakhtiaris speak Persian or a LuriBakhtiari.jpg" width="250" align="right" vspace="10" border="2"> dialect, although part of the population, concentrated in the towns and villages in the south of Khuzestan province, speak Arabic. Their clothing, with trousers extraordinarily wide, round hat and short tunic, is reminiscent of the Arsasid (Parthian) period, 200 BC-280 AD.
