Dialects of Fars are a group of Southwestern Iranian dialects spoken in the central Fars province. The southwestern dialects can be divided into three families of dialects according to geographical distribution and local names: Southwestern (Lori), South-central (Kuhmareyi) and Southeastern (Larestani).[1][2] Under linguistic typology a part of the dialects of the region can be classified as follows:[3][4][5][6]
And the extinct old Kazeruni and Old Shirazi (Sherazi) dialects. This group of dialects is not to be confused with the standard Persian, the official language of Iran; and they are not restricted to the present border of Fars province.[2][7]
