The Kermanshahi dialect is a dialect of the Persian language spoken in the city of Kermanshah,[1] [2] Eslamabad-e Gharb and Kangavar.[3] [4] [5] A prominent feature of the Kermanshahi Persian dialect is the use of a number of Kurdish words and verbs, which can be seen in transformed and paid forms in the Kermanshahi Persian sentences. There are phonetic, lexical, and syntactic differences between Kermanshahi Persian and standard Persian, which arose due to the influence of Kermanshahi Kurdish.[6] [7] [8] [9] The Persian dialect of Kermanshah is considered the most western dialect of the Persian language.[10] [11] [12]
