⚫ | The language spoken in Jibal was known as Pahlavi (arabized as ''Fahlawi''), the region of the language (including [[Atropatene]]) known as ''[[Fahla]]'' (''Pahlaw'', ''Fahlaw'') or ''Bahla'' in [[List of Muslim historians|Islamic]] records. "Pahlavi" referred to the Parthian inhabitants of the region and their language. Later, due to demographic and ethnic changes of the Parthian culture, it referred to a group of [[Western Iranian languages|northwestern Iranian languages and dialects]], such as [[Talysh language|Talysh]], [[Daylami language|Daylami]], [[Gorani language|Gorani]], [[Tati language (Iran)|Southern Tati]], or variants of [[Old Azeri|Adhari]].{{sfn|Paul|2000}}. |
