Sengiseri is a language spoken in the Semnan province of Iran mainly in the Sangsar (Mahdi Shehr) town and in a several surrounding villages. Though Sangesari has traditionally been included in a group of dialects together with Sorkhei, Lasgerdi, Biyabunaki, Aftari, their speakers cannot understand each other. This gives grounds to claim that Sangesari is an independent Northwest Iranian language.[2] Sangesari language has a complete grammer, verbs are male and female. Frequently contains sounds such as "P", "Zhe", "Che", and "Ge" which are indicative of not being Arabic.It has similarity to Mazanderani (Taberi) language.[citation needed]
It is close to Kurdish and Lori.[citation needed] According to one source Sangesaries did not submit to Arab's attack during Umar and instead reguged in a huge cave in Sangesar (which mean at the top of stone) and setteled there.
