Sistanian dialect

The Sistanian dialect is a regional variety of Persian spoken primarily in the Sistan region, which spans parts of southeastern Iran and western Afghanistan. It features unique pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammatical traits that distinguish it from standard Persian. The dialect reflects the area's cultural and historical influences, incorporating elements from neighboring languages and local traditions. While it shares core Persian roots, Sistanian maintains distinct linguistic characteristics, making it an important marker of local identity. It is primarily used in daily communication, folk poetry, and cultural expressions among Sistanian speakers.
