Chaharmahali Turkic (Chaharmahali Turkic: چارمحال توْرکی‌سؽ) is a proposed Oghuz Turkic variety spoken in Iran's Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, and western Isfahan Province where it is described as "Esfahan Province Turkic" by linguists.[4] It is an understudied and generally unclassified variety of Oghuz Turkic distinct from Azerbaijani and Qashqai, being closer to the latter.[5] Chaharmahali Turkic is not to be confused with "Chārmāhāli," a Persian dialect spoken in the same region.[6]
