Hazaragi is the variety of Persian spoken by the Hazara people of central Afghanistan (Hazarajat) and significant diasporas in Quetta (Pakistan), Mashhad (Iran), and resettlement communities in Australia and Europe. It diverges from Standard Dari in phonology (e.g., /b/ → /w/, vowel reductions), lexicon, and a distinctive layer of Mongolic and Turkic loanwords reflecting historical Mongol-period settlement of the central Afghan highlands by Chagatai-era retainers.
