Lor tribe - Lor (English spelling)

Japanese: ロル族 - ロルぞく（英語表記）Lor

A nomadic tribe in southwestern Iran. Their language is the Iranian Lor dialect, which is close to Kurdish. Until the Safavid period they were a large and powerful political group, forming the Khorshidi dynasty (1155-early 17th century). However, they later split into two factions, with the group north of the river called "Little Lor" and the group south of the river called "Little Lor", but later took on the names Bakhtiari and Kūhgīlūyeh. In the second half of the 19th century, the "Little Lor" split into eastern and western parts by the Kabir Mountains and the Kalha River, and today the Lor refers to the nomads of the eastern part of the region commonly known as "Pishkūh".

イラン南西部に遊牧する部族。言語はクルド語に近いイラン系のロル方言。サファビー朝のときまで有力な大政治集団で，ホルシーディー朝(1155‐17世紀初め)をつくっていた。しかし，その後，デズ川を境に2派に分裂し，川の北にいた集団は〈小ロル〉と呼ばれ，南にいた集団は〈大ロル〉と称されたが，のちにバフティヤーリー族，クーフギールーエKūhgīlūyeh族を名のった。さらに19世紀後半，〈小ロル〉がカビール山脈，キャルハ川を境に東西に分裂し，今日，ロル族というのは東側の俗に〈ピーシュクーフPīshkūh〉地域の遊牧民のことをいう。
