Zoroastrian Dari (Persian: دری زرتشتی or گویش بهدینان literally Behdīnān dialect) is a Persian dialect and a Northwestern Iranian[1] ethnolect.
Zoroastrian Dari used to be spoken by almost a million people in central Iran, up until the 1880s.[2] Nowadays, it is used as a first language by an estimated 8,000 to 15,000 Zoroastrians in and around the cities of Yazd and Kerman in central Iran, and by the Irani community in India.
Dari is also known as Behdināni or pejoratively as Gabri (sometimes Gavrŭni or Gabrōni).[3] Dari has numerous dialects.[4]
