The Qashqai people are a nomadic ethnic group primarily found in southwestern Iran. They are known for their rich cultural heritage, which includes traditional music, dance, and vibrant textiles. The Qashqai are primarily pastoralists, herding sheep, goats, and camels, and they often migrate seasonally to find grazing lands. Their social structure is organized into tribes, with each tribe having its own leader. The Qashqai language is a dialect of Turkic languages, reflecting their historical connections. Despite modernization, many Qashqai people continue to practice their traditional lifestyle, maintaining a strong sense of community and cultural identity.
