The historical region of Larestan and Lamerd consists of several counties in Fars province (Larestan County, Khonj County, Gerash County and Lamerd) and Bastak County in Hormozgan province.
Larestani people speak the Larestani language.[2] Larestani people are of Persian descent,[3] the majority of Larestani people are Sunnis.[3][4][5][6] Larestani people call themselves "Khodmooni".
Under medieval age, Laristan was ruled by the local dynasty of Miladi, until it was removed by a Safavid invasion in 1610. In the thirteenth century, Larestan briefly became a center of trade and commerce in southern Persia.[3] Larestan was nearly always an obscure region, never becoming involved in the politics and conflicts of mainstream Persia.[3]
