Bashkardi language

Southern Bashkardi or Bashagerdi, or simply "Bashkardi", and also known as southern "Bashaka", is a Southwestern Iranian language[2][3] spoken in the southeast of Iran in the provinces of Kerman, Sistan and Baluchestan, and Hormozgan. The language is closely related to Garmsiri, Larestani and Kumzari. It forms a transitional dialect group to northwestern Iranian Balochi, due to intense areal contact.

Northern Bashkardi, or Marzi Gāl, is closer to neighbours than is Southern Bashkardi, or Molki Gāl,[4] and has been classified as a dialect of the neighboring Garmsiri (a.k.a. Bandari) language.[5][6]

The Bashkardi varieties spoken further inland may not all fall into either Northern or Southern Bashkardi.[6]
