Koroshi dialect

Koroshi (Koroshi: کوروشی, Balochi: کوروٚشی) is a Balochi dialect. The speakers of Koroshi live in scattered pockets in Southern Iranian Fars province. The number of speakers was estimated to be 1000 in 2006. According to Ethnologue the dialect has 180 speakers within 40 to 50 families.

Entirely isolated from the main body of the Baloch habitat, Koroshi distinguishes itself in grammar and lexicon among Balochi varieties.

The transcription used here is only an approximation:

golâbi (pear) → golâbi-yok (the pear)
bâmard (man) → bâmard-â (the man)

čok (child) → čokk-i (a child)

mardin (man) → mardin-gal (men)
sib (apple) → sib-obâr (apples)

siyâhayn angur (black grape)
qašanguveyn pirâhâm (beautiful shirt)
