Afshar or Afshari (Azerbaijani: Əfşar türkcəsi, افشار تورکجه‌سی, Әфшар түркҹәси; Turkish: Afşar dili or Afşarca) is a Turkic dialect spoken in Turkey, Iran, Syria, Turkmenistan[3][4] and parts of Afghanistan by the Afshars. Ethnologue and Glottolog list it as a dialect of the South Azerbaijani language.[5]

Afshar is distinguished by many loanwords from Persian and a rounding of the phoneme /a/ to [ɒ], as occurred in Uzbek. In many cases, vowels that are rounded in Azerbaijani are not rounded in Afshar. An example of this is /jiz/ (meaning 100), which is /jyz/ in standard Azerbaijani.
