I Talisci (anche Talishi, Taleshi o Talyshi) sono un gruppo etnico iranico[9][10][11][12][13][14] originario di una regione condivisa tra l'Azerbaigian e l'Iran che si estende tra il Caucaso meridionale e la costa sud-occidentale del Mar Caspio. Parlano la lingua taliscia, una delle lingue iraniche nordoccidentali. È parlato nelle regioni settentrionali delle province iraniane di Gilan e Ardabil e nelle parti meridionali della Repubblica dell'Azerbaigian. La regione settentrionale dei talisci (che rientra nella Repubblica dell'Azerbaigian) era storicamente nota come Talish-i Gushtasbi. In Iran vi è lo shahrestān (contea) di Talesh nella provincia di Gilan.[15]

north, have explicit Iranian identity, the situation with the Talishis in Azerbaijan Republic, living as an enclave within the predominantly Turkic environment, has inspired the southern intellectual milieu as well." pp 47: "The structures of both ethnonyms, Καδούσ- (Cadus-) and Tāliš, are similar: ... Despite the obvious speculative character of the above etymology, still the Καδούσ-/Tāliš identification must not be discarded from the agenda of the ethnic history of the region, at least as a working hypothesis."
