Koroshi (Koroshi: کوروشی, Balochi: کوروٚشی) is a Balochi dialect.[2] The speakers of Koroshi live in scattered pockets in Southern Iranian Fars province. The number of speakers was estimated to be 1000 in 2006.[1] According to Ethnologue the dialect has 180 speakers within 40 to 50 families.[3]
Entirely isolated from the main body of the Baloch habitat, Koroshi distinguishes itself in grammar and lexicon among Balochi varieties.[4]
