* Masjed Soleiman
* Shushtari
These are generally unintelligible to speakers of Standard (Modern) Persian.
outhern region

* Khorramshahri
These are a regional variety of dialects which are much closer to Standard Persian and in general are easily understood by the average Persian-speaker elsewhere in Iran.
