The Lari language can be considered a descendant of the Sassanid Persian language or Middle Persian. Larestani language and its various local dialects such as Lari, Evazi, Khonji, Gerashi, Bastaki, etc., is the branch of the Middle Persian language of the Sassanid Empire.
Speakers of Lari dialects in Iran that come from different towns might also find some variations in some words and may differ slightly in grammar and particularly in accent. Hence, if the speaker is from Evaz, they are referred as speaking Evazi, and if they are from Bastak their dialect is known as Bastaki. The Larestani language of the Southwestern Pars Province and parts of the Hormozgan Province has many local dialects such as Lari, Gerashi, Evazi, Khonji, Bastaki, etc. With the exception of the regional accent, pronunciation of certain words, and a slight variation in grammar, this old language has been the common language of the Southwestern Pars Province and parts of Hormozgan Province for nearly 1,800 years despite the various conquests of the region since the fall of the Sassanid Empire.
