Khorasani Kurds (Kurdish: کوردانی خۆراسان; Persian: کردهای خراسان) are Kurds who live in the provinces of North Khorasan and Razavi Khorasan in northeastern Iran, along the Iran-Turkmenistan border. Khorasani Kurds speak the Kurmanji dialect of Kurdish and are Shia Muslims.[3] Many Khorasani Kurds are bilingual in Khorasani Turkic, mainly due to intermarriages with Khorasani Turks. However, Persian is the lingua franca.[4] There are about 696 Kurdish villages in the two Khorasan provinces.[5] Many tribes are closely connected to the Khorasani Turks.[6]
