Kordali (Kurdali), or Pahlavi, is one of the Kurdish languages. It is often included in Southern Kurdish, but is quite distinct.[1] It is spoken by the large Kordali tribe in the borderlands between Iraq and Iran.[2]
It is principally spoken in parts of Ilam Province in Iran including in Abdanan, Dehloran, Meymeh and Pahleh.[3] In Iraq, the dialect is spoken in Ali Al-Gharbi in Maysan Governorate and Shayk Sa'd in Wasit Governorate.
