Note Dinwari according to Encyclopedia Iranica is not Kurdish. Also Yaqubi, the geographer and traveller maintains that Dinvar is a city whose inhabitants are a mixture of Arabs and Ajams.

According to prof. Mehrdad R. Izady he was a Kurd. Kirmashan and Dinawar are also predominantly Kurdish. Yaqubi says "Dinawar is a city whose inhabitants are a mixture of Arabs and Ajams." - Ajam originally means non-arabs, but has later come to define especially Persians, but the original meaning is non-arabs.
