Giliki(Gileki) is neither a dialect of Persian nor a branch of Pahlavi. It has a separate grammer from both languages. Over the past decades,there were extensive restrictions regarding teaching, using in mass media and officially using it. Therefore, Gilaki language has been gradually disolved in official languae (so-called Persian). That is why it is currently dying off.

Dehkhoda specifically says: "lahjeye mardom e gilan" for the entry "gilaki".--Zereshk 03:03, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

I am aware of the existence of Kalhors in Gilan. I have no evidences whether they still speak it, Some accounts speak also of Kurdish migrations to Gilan. This should also be checked, and seen whether by this the Kurds proper (Sorani/ Kurmanji-speakers) were meant or Gorani or Laki speakers. This is important for idenitifying the language.
