Harzandi or Harzani (Tati: هرزندی، هرزنی) is a dialect of the Tati language,[2][3][4][5] spoken in the northern regions of the East Azarbaijan province of Iran. It is strictly an oral language, and a descendant of the Old Azeri language that has long been extinct as a result of the diffusion of Turkish in the area.[6] Harzandi has many common linguistic features with both Talysh and Zaza and was positioned between the Talysh and Zaza.[7]
