Zaza–Gorani is a linguistic subgroup of Northwestern Iranian languages. They are usually classified as a non-Kurdish branch of the Northwestern Iranian languages[2][3][4] but most of their speakers consider themselves ethnic Kurds.[5][6][7][8]

The Zaza–Gorani languages are the Zaza and the Gorani languages,[9][10] whereas Gorani is composed of four dialects being Hawrami, Bajelani, Shabaki and Sarli.[11][12]
