Chaharmahali Turkic (Chaharmahali Turkic: چارمحال توْرکیسؽ) is a proposed Oghuz Turkic variety spoken in Iran's Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, and western Isfahan province, where it is described as "Esfahan Province Turkic" by linguists. [4] It is an understudied and generally unclassified variety of Oghuz Turkic distinct from Azerbaijani and Qashqai, being closer to the latter. [5] Chaharmahali Turkic is not to be confused with " Chārmāhāli," a Persian dialect spoken in the same region. [6]
The Atlas of the Languages of Iran (ALI) [7] published a point-based and polygon language distribution map of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province and several linguistic data maps. [8] [9] [10]
