  Distribution of Chaharmahali Turkic spoken as a native language

Chaharmahali Turkic (چهارمحال تۆرکیسی Çəharməhal Türkîsi/چهارمحالی تۆرکی Çəharməhali Türkî) is a proposed Oghuz Turkic variety spoken in Iran's Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province and in western Isfahan province, where it is described as "Esfahan Province Turkic" by linguists.[4] It is an understudied and generally unclassified variety of Oghuz Turkic distinct from Azerbaijani and Qashqai, being closer to the latter.[5] Chaharmahali Turkic is not to be confused with "Charmahali Persian," (fa) a Persian dialect spoken in the same region.[6]
