Qashqai is a conglomeration of tribes in Iran consisting of mostly Turkic peoples and Lurs, Kurds, and Arabs.[5] Almost all of them speak a Western Oghuz Turkic dialect known as the Qashqai language, which they call "Turki," and Persian (the national language of Iran) for formal use. The Qashqai mainly live in Fars, Khuzestan, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Bushehr Southern Isfahan, especially around the cities of Shiraz and Firuzabad in Fars. The majority of Qashqai people were originally nomadic pastoralists, and some remain so today. The traditional nomadic Qashqai traveled with their flocks twice yearly to and from the summer highland pastures north of Shiraz roughly 480 km or 300 miles south to the lower (and warmer) winter pastures lands near the Persian Gulf, to the southwest of Shiraz. The majority, however, have now become partially or wholly sedentary. The trend towards settlement has been increasing markedly since the 1960s.
