Sorkhei is a Northwestern Iranian language. It is one of the Komisenian languages.[3] It is spoken in the village of Sorkheh in Semnan province in northwestern Iran.[4]
Classification
[edit]Sorkhei is a Northwestern Iranian language and belongs to the Komisenian subgroup. It is linguistically close to Sangsari, Lasgerdi and Aftari.[5] Sorkhei also shares similar structures with Zaza, which is linguistically close to Semnani.[6][7]
History
[edit]During the Iran-Iraq War, radio operators from Sorkheh used the language as a form of cryptography for tactical communications of the Iranian Armed Forces.[8]
During the Iran nuclear negotiations, the language was used in conversations between Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Hossein Fereydoun, his brother and aide traveling with the negotiating team. This was done to eliminate or reduce comprehensibility of the conversation by any potential eavesdroppers.[9]
