Achomi (Persian: اَچُمِی), also called Khodmooni (Arabic: خُودمُونِي), Lari (Persian: لآرِی), or Larestani (Persian: لآرِستَانِی),[1] are an Iranian sub-ethnic group of Persians who inhabit primarily in southern Iran in a region historically known as Irahistan. They are predominantly Sunni Muslims,[2][3][4] with a Shia minority.[3]

Achomi people speak the Achomi language. The language is in decline, has reported eight dialects and it is mostly intelligible with Persian proper.[5] The Achomi people are of Persian descent.[3][4]
