Sistani people (Persian: مردم سیستانی)[1] (also known as the Sistanis, Sajestani, and historically referred to Sagzi)[2] are an Iranian ethnic group, who primarily inhabit Sistan in southeastern Iran and historically southwestern Afghanistan as well.[3]
They live in the northern part of Sistan and Balouchistan province, where they form a major minority (40–50% of the province).[citation needed] Since recent decades many also have migrated to other parts of Iran such as Tehran and Golestan provinces in northern Iran. Sistanis speak a dialect of Persian known as Sistani .[4]
The Sistani are from Scythians.[5] The Scythians were the last group of Aryans who entered Iran 2500 BC.[6][7]
