A local would say...
The people here speak a form of Persian that died out everywhere else 1000 years ago — the village is a living time capsule.
Nestled in a mountain valley 82km south of Kashan, this UNESCO-recognized red-mud village of extraordinary antiquity has buildings dating primarily to the Safavid period. Villagers still wear distinctive traditional clothing and speak Middle Persian — a dialect that has disappeared everywhere else on earth.
