Bakhtiari dialect is a distinct dialect of Southern Luri spoken by Bakhtiari peopleinChaharmahal-o-Bakhtiari, Bushehr, eastern Khuzestan and parts of Isfahan and Lorestan provinces.^[3] It is closely related to the Boir-Ahamadi, Kohgiluyeh, and Mamasani dialects in northwestern Fars. These dialects, together with the Lori dialects of Lorestan (e.g. Khorramabadi dialect), are referred to as the “Perside” southern Zagros group, or Lori dialects. Luri and Bakhtiari are much more closely related to Persian than Luri."^[4] Dialects of Persian spoken in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province are mutually intelligible with Bakhtiari.^[1]

Bakhtiari could be seen as a transitional idiom between Kurdish and Persian.^[5]
