Sangsari is an Iranian 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]
The Sangiseri people are also considered a Northwest Iranic group, closely related to the Parthians, however have been heavily mixed with populations from the Caucasus, especially the Georgians[citation needed], whom many are believed to have settled in the Sangesar reigion, and intermarried with Sangesari peoples.
