== Definisanje iranskih naroda ==
U iranske narode spadaju narodi koji govore [[iranski jezici|iranske jezike]], u smislu da ''iranski'' podrazumijeva veoma rastegljiv pojam koji se može primijeniti na različite narode i jezike, od kojih mnogi dijele zajedničko porijeklo od posebne grane starih Arijanaca (''Iranaca''). Mada je moderna država [[Iran]] usvojila ovo ime, zamjenjujući prethodni naziv [[Persija]], [[1935]], Iran nema isključivo pravo polaganja na izraz ''iranski'' ili ''iranski narod(i)''. Ovaj naziv nose ne samo [[Iranci]] i [[Tadžik|Tadžici]] u [[Iran]]u, [[AvganistanAfganistan]]u i [[Tadžikistan]]u, nego i [[Paštun]]i, [[Kurdi]], [[Osetijci]], [[Baluč]] i ostale manje etničke grupe.
<!--
Although most of the Iranian peoples are found on the [[Iranian plateau]] region, many have moved beyond and can be found from the [[Caucasus]] and [[Turkey]] to the [[Indus]] and western [[Xinjiang|China]]. The Iranian peoples have often mingled with other populations with the notable example being the [[Hazara]]s who display a distinct [[Turkic]]-[[Mongol]] background that contrasts with most other Iranian peoples. Similarly, the [[Baluch]] have mingled to a small degree with [[India]]n populations such as the [[Brahui]], while the [[Ossetians]] have invariably mixed with [[Georgians]], [[Russians]], and other peoples with whom they live. The Kurds are an example of a very eclectic Iranian people who, although displaying many ties to other Iranian peoples, also have ethnic ties to the Caucasus and [[Anatolia]] among other regions. Even the Persians themselves have undoubtedly mixed with various invaders as well as the aboriginal peoples of the Iranian plateau including the [[Elamites]]. Thus, not unlike the previous example of Germanic peoples involving the [[English people|English]], who are of mixed Germanic and [[Celtic]] origin, Iranian is an ethno-linguistic group and the Iranian peoples display varying degrees of common ancestry and/or cultural traits that denote their respective identities.
Some ancient peoples such as the [[Scythians]], [[Sarmatians]], and [[Alans]] are also widely believed to have belonged to the Iranian group, based upon scant evidence regarding their languages and the identity of their modern-day descendants. No origin for any of these peoples or their languages in the region of the modern nation of Iran is implied, or should be construed, from this particular use of the word ''Iranian''. The Iranian language group is itself a sub-branch of the [[Indo-Iranian]] sub-family, which is in turn a sub-branch of the [[Indo-European]] family of languages, which was formerly, although inaccurately, also referred to as ''Aryan'' – a usage academically discredited.

There are an estimated 150 million native speakers of Iranian languages. Currently, most of these Iranian peoples live in [[Iran]], [[Afghanistan]], [[Tajikistan]], western [[Pakistan]], the [[Kurdish people|Kurdish]] areas (sometimes referred to as [[Kurdistan]]) of [[Turkey]], [[Iraq]], Iran, and [[Syria]], as well as in parts of [[Uzbekistan]] (especially [[Samarkand]] and [[Fergana]]), the [[Caucasus]] ([[Ossetia]] and [[Azerbaijan]]), and western [[Xinjiang|China]].
==Genetic tests and possible links==
Genetic testing of Iranian peoples has revealed many common origins for most of the Iranian peoples, but with regional variations as to be expected. Nonetheless the preliminary genetic evidence suggests a common relationship amongst most of the Iranian peoples:
''Populations located west of the Indus basin, including those from Iran, Anatolia and the Caucasus, exhibit a common mtDNA lineage composition, consisting mainly of western Eurasian lineages, with a very limited contribution from South Asia and eastern Eurasia (fig. 1). Indeed, the different Iranian populations show a striking degree of homogeneity. This is revealed not only by the nonsignificant FST values and the PC plot (fig. 6) but also by the SAMOVA results, in which a significant genetic barrier separates populations west of Pakistan from those east and north of the Indus Valley (results not shown). These observations suggest either a common origin of modern Iranian populations and/or extensive levels of gene flow amongst them.''[http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/AJHG/journal/issues/v74n5/40813/40813.html]
Basically, the findings of this study show many common genetic markers found amongst the Iranian peoples from the [[Tigris]] to the areas west of the [[Indus]]. This correlates with the [[Iranian languages]] spoken in the areas that span from the Caucasus to Kurdish areas in the [[Zagros]] region and eastwards to western Pakistan and Tajikistan and parts of Uzbekistan in Central Asia.
