Muzuri Kurds
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Muzuri (مزوري; also spelled Mezuri, Missouri, Missuri or Musri) are a Kurdish group inhabiting the northernmost areas of Iraqi Kurdistan.[1] They live to the west of Margavar (west of Lake Urmia) and close to the Zebari and Barzani areas. The Muzuri are a subtribe of the Barzani tribe.
Muzuri Kurds are divided into the Sorani Mezuri tribe, which is in the Erbil District, and the Bahdini tribe, which is in the Dohuk District. They are one of the few tribes that have two dialects (the Sorani and Badini).
In Assyrian records, the region is referred to as the land of Musri or Muzri.
