Bakhtiari people - Bakhtiari tribe (English spelling)

Japanese: バフティヤーリー族 - バフティヤーリーぞく（英語表記）Bakhtiyārīs

A major semi-nomadic tribal alliance in Iran. During the Iranian Constitutional Revolution, they sided with the constitutionalists and played an important role in restoring constitutionalism. They were suppressed during the reza shah period, but after World War II, the tribal chief's family was once again appointed to important positions in the government. Their total number is estimated at 300,000 to 400,000, and they are divided into the Haft Lang and Chahar Lang, each of which is further divided into smaller groups. Although they are Muslims, customary law is the social norm, and they speak the Lor dialect of Persian. A little over 30% of them continue to live a nomadic life, traveling to the Zagros Mountains in summer and the foothills and plains in winter in search of pasture for their sheep and goats. They were previously famous for raising high-quality Arabian horses. The majority are sedentary.

イランの主要な半遊牧部族連盟。イラン立憲革命の際は立憲派側につき，立憲制回復のために重要な役割を果した。レザー・シャー期には抑圧されたが，第2次世界大戦後，族長一家は再度政府の要職に就任。総数は 30万～40万人と推定され，ハフト・ラングとチャハール・ラングに分れ，さらにおのおのが小集団に細分される。イスラム教徒であるが，慣習法が社会規範となっており，言語はペルシア語のロル方言を使用する。3割強が現在も遊牧生活を続け，夏はザグロス山中，冬は山麓や平原に羊，やぎの牧草を求めて移動する。以前は良質のアラビア馬の飼育で有名であった。過半数は定住化している。
