Azaris

Azaris, also known as Azeris, Old Azeris or Adharis, were an Iranian people who spoke Old Azeri. They were the inhabitants of the Azerbaijan region of northwestern Iran, and resided there prior to the Turkification of the region during the Seljuk Empire. Some researchers believe that modern Tats, specifically Harzdani and Karingani speakers, are descendants of ancient Azaris.
