There are a number of Khuzestani Persian dialects and accents unique to the province of Khuzestan in southwestern Iran. There are two main regional classifications, in addition to less common varieties: Northern region- Shushtari (dialect)
- Dezfuli (dialect)
- Bakhtiary (dialect)
- Luri (dialect)
- Laki (dialect)
- Gotvandi (dialect)
These are generally unintelligible to speakers of Modern Standard Persian and are related to and are rooted in old Persian and Elamite languages. Southern region- Behbahani (dialect)
- Ramhormozi (dialect)
- Hendijani (dialect)
- Abadani (accent)
- Ahvazi (accent) [note orphaned article at Ajami dialect may be this]
- Mahshahri (dialect)
- Khorramshahri (accent)
- Qanavati (dialect)
- Larki (dialect)
- Bahmeei (dialect)
Those regional variety of Kouzestani accents are much closer to Standard Persian than Khouzestani dialects and are easily understood by the average Persian-speaker elsewhere in Iran. PhonologyPersian dialects of Khuzestan are halfway between north Iranian dialects and Dari dialects, or midway between Modern and Classical Persian dialects. - Word-final [æ] in Classical Persian is allophonized to [e], except [næ] ('no').
- The long vowels of Classical Persian [{{IPA|eː}}] and [{{IPA|iː}}] merged into Modern Persian [{{IPA|iː}}], and [{{IPA|oː}}] and [{{IPA|uː}}] merged into [{{IPA|uː}}].
- Arabic letter و is realized as a voiced labiodental fricative [v].
- The convergence of the Arabic pronunciations of ق (voiced uvular stop {{IPA|[ɢ]}}) and غ (voiced velar fricative {{IPA|[ɣ]}}) in Tehrani Persian and other north Iranian dialects (probably influenced by Turkic languages like Azeri and Turkmen),&91;1&93; is still kept separate in Khuzestani dialects, as is in classic Persian and as all southern Iranian dialects are, most partly because of the Arab Iranian population of Khuzestan.
- Like Tehrani accent and also most of the accents in Central and Southern Iran, the sequence /{{IPA|ɒ}}n/ in the colloquial dialect is nearly always pronounced [un]. The only common exceptions are high prestige words, such as [ɢo{{IPA|ɾʔɒ}}n] ('Qur'an'), and [{{IPA|ʔ}}iˈ{{IPA|ɾɒ}}n] ('Iran'), and foreign nouns (both common and proper), like the Spanish surname Beltran [belˈt{{IPA|ɾɒ}}n], which are pronounced as written. A few words written as /{{IPA|ɒ}}m/ are pronounced [um]. /{{IPA|ɒ}}m/ and /{{IPA|ɒ}}n/ are pronounced as they are in formal dialect.
Note that native Khuzestani Persian speakers can interchange colloquial and formal dialects in conversational speech. References1. ^A. Pisowicz, Origins of the New and Middle Persian phonological systems (Cracow 1985), p. 112-114, 117.
