Basseri dialect (Persian: گویش باصری) is a Persian dialect spoken in Fars province by the Basseri people.[1] It is part of the Southwestern Iranian branch of the Indo-Iranian group of Indo-European languages.[2][3] Basseri dialect consists of many exclusive Persian words with Old and Middle Persian roots and less Arabic Loanwords, which is a consequence of living in the mountains, nomadism and less connection with urban Persians.[4]
