Southern Turkmen, also known as Iranian or Afghan Turkmen, is the variant of the Turkmen language spoken in Iran[6] and Afghanistan.[7]It is currently written in the Perso-Arabic script, though some use the original Turkmen Latin script.[8]
Southern Turkmen is mutually intelligible with the Turkmen variety spoken in Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. There are a few differences like the script and that Southern Turkmen borrows more Persian loanwords.[6]There has also been Arabic influence in Southern Turkmen more.
