The Sanjâbi or Senjâwi (Kurdish: سنجاوی ,Sincawî, Persian: ایل سنجابی), is one of the biggest Kurdish tribes in Kermanshah Province of Iran and also in east of Iraq). The Sanjabi dialect is a branch of southern Kurdish language family. They are notable for having played a leading role in the intertribal history of western Iran, protecting its borders against neighbouring powers—the Russian, British, and especially the Ottoman Empire.[1]
