Dezfuli dialect

Dezfuli is one of the southwestern dialects of Iran, which is the dialect of a part of the people of Dezful, who are known as Dezfuli. Dezfuli and Shushtari share common features with the surrounding Luri dialects. A glottologist places Dezfuli-Shushatri dialects in a group called Luri-Dezfuli, which, while being separate from Luri and New Persian, have a similar status to Luri language. However, other linguists indicate that Dezfuli is a dialect of the Persian language that has been influenced by Luri.In the article on the dialects of Khuzestan, Iranika considers the Dezfuli-Shoshtri and Bakhtiari dialects to belong to the southern group of the Luri language.
