I remember reading the Faylis were Lors and not Kurds, as the language they speak is Luri. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.4.193.124 (talk • contribs)

I'm not sure this is correct. The article Luri language mentions that Luri is part of the Southwestern Iranian launguages group whereas the Kurdish language is part of the Northwestern Iranian launguages group See also. This indicates that the Luris live exclusively in Iran whereas I have heard of significant Fayli communities in Iraq.

This article doesn't mention the language of Fayli, and could very well be Luri. As stated earlier, I have come across source stating the Faylis are Lors who identify as Kurds in Iraq for lack of a closer ethnic group, unlike Iran. I remember reading the Faylis were Lori pilgrims to the Shia holy sites in Iraq and ended up settling in Iraq.

See the write up here [1] for more information. AndrewRT - Talk 20:10, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

No, Feyli kurd are kurds. I am an Feyli kurd, an beleive me, i know

As an Englishman I'm forced to rely on others to inform me! Ater some quick research on the internet I found this article [2] which says:

The Faili (Fayli or Pahli) Kurds are an integral part of the great Kurdish people and they speak the Kurdish language in the Laurie and Laki (dialect) accent

Of course that doesn't mean there weren't also some Lors who emigrated at the same time and ended up being lumped together with the Kurdish-speaking Faylis. AndrewRT - Talk 15:59, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pehlí

The kurdish name is Pehlí (or Pahlí), Feylí (or Faylí) is the arabic form of the name. We have the same case when it comes to the persians, the original Pars and the arabized Fars. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.211.101.220 (talk) 23:46, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
