Pazuki

Pazukî (or Pazuki in English language sources: 19 ) is a Kurdish tribe whose members live in different regions in Kurdistan as well as in and around Tehran, Iran. The tribe is mentioned in the 16th century Kurdish historical book Sharafnama by Sharaf Khan Bidlisi.: 420–422  There are some variants of the name Pazuki and they are known under the various names, like Bazikî, Bozukan, Bazukan etc. Pazukî was originally a tribal confederation like Rojiki Kurds. Some branches of them speak Kurmanji and the others speak Zazakî. But Henry Field mentioned their Iranian branch also as a Turcophonic community in 1939.
