Tat people of Iran (Tati: Irünə Tâtün, Template:Rtl-lang) or Southern Tats[2] are an Iranian people living in northern Iran, especially in the south of Qazvin province. They are a subgroup of the Northwestern Iranians[3][4].

Tats of Iran use the Tati language (Iran), is a group of Northwestern Iranian dialects which are closely related to the Talysh language. Persian and Azeri are also spoken. Tats of Iran are mainly Shia Muslims and about 300,000 population.[5][6][7][8][9]

Starting from the Middle Ages, the term Tati was used not only for the Caucasus but also for north-western Iran, where it was extended to almost all of the local Iranian languages except of Persian and Kurdish.[citation needed]

Currently, the term Tati and Tati language is used to refer to a particular group of north-western Iranian dialects (Chali, Danesfani, Hiaraji, Hoznini, Esfarvarini, Takestani, Sagzabadi, Ebrahimabadi, Eshtehardi, Hoini, Kajali, Shahroudi, Harzani) in Iranian Azerbaijan, as well as south of it in the provinces of Qazvin and Zanjan.[10] These dialects have a certain affinity to the Talysh language as one of the descendants of the Old Azari language.[11]

The use of the name Tati to two different Iranian languages erroneously suggests that the Caucasian Tats also live in Iran.[citation needed]

Tat is a word of Turkish origin, used by Turkic-speakers to denote non-Turkic population of settled way of life.[12]
