Hazaragi is a variety of Persian, spoken by the Hazara people of Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan. The primary differences between Standard Persian and Hazaragi are the accent[1] and a larger borrowing of Turkic and Mongolic vocabulary.

Hazaragi has been classified as both a separate language[2][3] and as a dialect[4] of Persian. It is easily distinguishable from other Persian dialects or languages spoken in Afghanistan.[5] Hazaragi contains some Mongolic and Turkic words.
Hazaragi is spoken by the Hazara people of central Afghanistan as well as by a large refugee population found in northeastern Iran and in parts of Pakistan, such as Quetta.[6]
