Ghorbati is an ethnic group, a nomadic community in Iran[1] and Afghanistan.[2] They are widespread in Iran.[1] In 1976–77, the Ghorbati in Afghanistan numbered 1,000 families (ca. 5,000 people).[2] They are connected to the Basseri tribe, but their mother tongue is not Persian.[1] Their language, called Ghorbati, is a dialect of the Domari language.[3] They are distinct from the Koli, but share language with them.[4] They have also migrated to Maharashtra, India.[5] They are also known as Ghorbat, Gurbat, Qurbati.[6] The ethnonym is widely found in Gypsy communities (see Gurbeti).
