There are a number of Khuzestani Persian dialects unique to the province of Khuzestan in southwestern Iran.

There are two main regional classifications, in addition to less common varieties:

[edit] Northern region

• Behbahani
• Dezfuli
• Masjed Soleiman
• Shushtari

These are generally unintelligible to speakers of Standard (Modern) Persian.

[edit] Southern region

• Abadani
• Ahvazi
• Khorramshahri

These are a regional variety of dialects which are much closer to Standard Persian and in general are easily understood by the average Persian-speaker elsewhere in Iran.
