Tatoid dialects

The Tatoid dialects, also known as the Tabaroid dialects, South Alborz varieties, or simply as Deylami, are dialects of the Tatic group of Northwestern Iranian languages spoken in the Iranian provinces of Gilan, Qazvin and Alborz. Tatoid includes the Rudbari (not to be confused with Rudbaraki, related to Gilaki), and Alamuti dialects, among others. According to Stilo, Rudbari and were originally dialects of the Tati language which, under the intense influences of Caspian and Persian, lost all the structural hallmarks of Tati.
