Khalaj or Hallaj is an Iranian dialect spoken by some Kurdish communities in northwestern Iran and Republic of Azerbaijan. The name of Hallaj is derived from mystic figure Mansur Al-Hallaj.
As of 2000 there were about 42000 people in Iran speaking Khalaj as their mother tongue.
This Iranic Khalaj, should not be confused with the Turkic Khalaj spoken in Iran and Afghanistan.
