Hazaragi is a dialect of Persian, the primary difference with Standard Persian (spoken in Iran and Afghanistan) being that there is a larger borrowing of Turkic and Mongolian vocabulary. It is spoken by the Hazara people of central Afghanistan and in parts of Pakistan, such as Quetta as well as by a large refugee population found in northeastern Iran. Hazaragi is spoken by more than 2 million people.
