Luri or Lori (Persian: لُری, IPA: /loriː/, /luriː/) is a collection of southwestern Iranian dialects which are mainly spoken by the Lurs and Bakhtiari people in the Iranian provinces of Lorestan, Ilam, Chahar Mahaal and Bakhtiari, Kohkiluyeh and Buyer Ahmad and parts of Khuzestan, Fars, Markazi, Kermanshah, Isfahan, and Hamadan. Some linguists catgorize the Luri dialects as a sub-group of Persian dialects. Some other sources such as SIL Ethnologue categorize them as the dialects of a distinct language, close to Persian, and call it Luri language.

SIL Ethnologue lists four Luri dialects,
  • Northern Luri [lrc], ca. 1,500,000 speakers as of 2001
  • Bakhtiari [bqi], ca. 1,000,000 speakers as of 2001
  • Southern Luri [luz], ca. 875,000 speakers as of 1999
  • Kumzari [zum], spoken in the Musandam Peninsula of northern Oman, ca. 1,700 speakers as of 1993.
