Sorkhei is a Western Iranian language. It is spoken in village of Sorkheh in Semnan Province in northwestern Iran.[3]
Trivia
During the Iran nuclear negotiations, urgent telephone conversations between Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Hossein Fereydoun, his aide traveling with the negotiating team, were conducted in Sorkhei. This was done to eliminate or reduce comprehensibility of the conversation by any eavesdroppers.[4]
