Shushtari (Persian: شوشتری [ʃuːʃtæˈɾiː]) is a language variety spoken in and around the city of Shushtar in Khuzestan Province in southwestern Iran. It constitutes a Southwestern Iranian dialect group with the Dezfuli dialect, which is spoken in Dezful, the adjacent city.[4][5] The main difference between Dezfuli and Shushtari is in vowel pronunciation.[6][7] Linguist List has classified Shushtri and Dezfuli as a language independent from Persian.[8] Glottolog places the Dezfuli and Shoshtri dialects with the Luri language in a group called Luric–Dezfulic.[9] In the article on the dialects of Khuzestan, Iranica considers the Dezfuli, Shoshtri, and Bakhtiari dialects to belong to the southern group of the Luri language.[10]
