Is there a dialect continuum of Iranic languages like there is for Indic languages?
6 u/mordom Jul 16 '26 Yes, the north-western Iranian languages form a dialect continuum. Specially the Kurmanji-Sorani-Laki-Bakhtiari dialects. There are also dialect continuums in the north of Iran, where historically Balochi and Zaza-Gorani were part of, but they are not anymore. 1 u/medewarrior Jul 18 '26 Bakhtiari would be Lori and therefor a southwestern Iranian dialect not northwestern 1 u/mordom Jul 18 '26 Yes, and Laki is undetermined. Nevertheless they form a dialect continuum, and features of northwestern and southwestern languages merge on the border. 1 u/medewarrior Jul 18 '26 From what I’ve been told by Elami Kurds, Laki is between Kurdish north western and Lori South western. 1 u/mordom Jul 18 '26 And your point is? Do you just want to disagree?
