KERMANSHAH vii. Languages and Dialects
Kermanshah Province (Kermanshahan) is linguistically characterized by a triad of Kurdish, Gurāni (q.v.), and Persian within a multifaceted, areal-tribal-social setting. These are supplemented by Neo-Aramaic (q.v.), which, until lately, was spoken in pockets by area Jewry, as well as an isolated Turkic dialect spoken in the Sonqor valley.
