Geographic distribution of Kurdish and other Iranian languages spoken by Kurds

Laki[3](لەکی; Lekî) is considered a dialect of Southern Kurdish.[4][5][6][7] Lexical similarity with Khorramabadi Luristani is 78%, with Iranian Persian is 70%, and with Northern Luri is 69%.[1]

Laki is spoken in the central Zagros region of Iran (provinces of Lorestan, Kermanshah, Ilam, and in much smaller numbers in Qazvin, Hamedan, and Khuzestan).
