Achomee people or Larestani people are a Persian Aryan ethnic group of Zorostian backround who inhabit primarily in Southern Iran in a region historically known as Larestan. But people of Lar city itself are basically of Jewsh origins who converted to islam in 16th century. Significant numbers of Achomee people also have migrated to Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE and other Persian Gulf countries in the region.
The Achomee people are in many counties such as Bastak in Hormozgan or Lamerd & Khonj (Larestan, Khonj, Gerash, Lamerd) and Bastak County in Hormozgan. In Bahrain, Sunni Bahrainis of Larestani ancestry are known as Hola.
Larestani people speak the Achomee language. The Achomee people are of Persian Aryan descent ,[2] the majority of Larestani people are Sunni Muslims,[2][3][4][5] with a Shia minority. In the thirteenth century, Lar briefly became a center of trade and commerce in southern Persia.[2] Larestan was nearly always an obscure region, never becoming involved in the politics and conflicts of mainstream Persia.[2]
Achomee people refer to themselves as "Khodmooni", a term literally meaning "part of ourselves" but figuratively used to refer to people from the historical region in Khonj, Lar, Gerash, Arad, Fedagh, Lamerd & Ewaz
