Bakhtiari people
The Bakhtiari (Persian: بختیاری, romanized: Bakhtyārī; also spelled Bakhtiyari) are a Lur tribe from the western half of Iran. They speak the Bakhtiari dialect, a sub-branch of the Luri language closely related to Classical Persian. Bakhtiaris primarily inhabit Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari and eastern Khuzestan, Lorestan, Bushehr, and Isfahan provinces. Bakhtiari tribes have an especially large population concentration in the cities of Masjed Soleyman, Izeh, Shahr-e Kord, and Andika, and the surrounding villages. A small percentage of Bakhtiari are still nomadic pastoralists, migrating between summer quarters (sardsīr or yaylāq) and winter quarters (garmsīr or qishlāq). According to Jean-Pierre Digard, "the Bakhtiari tribe offers the most typical, most complete example of Iranian nomadism."
