Gazi is one of the Central Iranian varieties of Iran, one of five listed in Ethnologue that together have 35,000 speakers.

Sources differ on whether Zefra'i is a dialect of Gazi or of Nayini.

  1. ^ Ethnologue 17 gives a figure of 7,030. However, this is a guestimate based on 35,000 speakers divided among five recognized languages.
