Distribution

This dialect is spoken in the foothills and mountainous areas south and southeast of Gilan, including Rudbar, Rostamabad, Siahkal and Deylaman, Amlash, Rahimabad, Ashkorat, and also in the west of Mazandaran such as Ramsar and Tonekabon.[6]

Status

Due to the fact that the Galesh lived in remote areas and generally had less contact with the people of the plains and human settlements, their dialect has remained intact. Therefore, Galeshi Gilaki is more authentic than Gilaki in urban areas. Regardless, the Gilaki dialect of the Galesh is very similar to the dialect of the people of East Gilan and West Mazandaran, except for Lahijan.[7]

The most important one is the Gīlak, who live in the central plain, the eastern coastal fringe and the southeastern highlands. But both dialectal differences and socio-cultural features oblige to divide the Gīlak into three groups: the raštī and lāhījānī Gīlak, respectively in the western and the eastern part of the plain, show only slight differences, but the gālešī Gīlak or deylamī in the southwestern mountains have quite another language as well as an agropastoral way of life opposed to that of the Gīlak paddy-growers in the plain.
