Hazaragi is a dialect of the Persian language, the primary difference with Standard Persian (spoken in Iran and Afghanistan) being that there is a larger borrowing of Turkic and Mongolic vocabulary. It is spoken by the Hazara people of central Afghanistan as well as by a large refugee population found in northeastern Iran and in parts of Pakistan, such as Quetta . [1]
