Southern Bashkardi orBashagerdi, or simply "Bashkardi", and also known as southern "Bashaka", is aSouthwestern Iranian language[2][3] spoken in the southeast ofIran in theprovinces ofKerman,Sistan and Baluchestan, andHormozgan. The language is closely related toGarmsiri,Larestani andKumzari. It forms a transitional dialect group to northwestern IranianBalochi, due to intense areal contact.
Northern Bashkardi, orMarzi Gāl, is closer to neighbours than is Southern Bashkardi, orMolki Gāl,[4] and has been classified as a dialect of the neighboringGarmsiri (a.k.a. Bandari) language.[5][6]
The Bashkardi varieties spoken further inland may not all fall into either Northern or Southern Bashkardi.[6]
From what has been published it would seem that North Baškardi is more closely related to its western relatives than to South Baškardi.
