Zeydanlu

The Zeydanlu are a Kurdish tribe primarily located in northeastern Iran, specifically in the North Khorasan Province around the city of Bojnord. They are one of the major Kurdish tribes in the region and speak a dialect of Kurmanji Kurdish. Historically, the Zeydanlu were a semi-nomadic people, engaged in animal husbandry and agriculture. Their tribal structure and social organization were traditionally based on kinship and lineage.

The Zeydanlu have a rich cultural heritage, including their own traditions, folklore, music, and dances. Over time, their nomadic lifestyle has largely transitioned to settled agriculture and participation in the broader Iranian society. They maintain a strong sense of tribal identity and continue to preserve aspects of their traditional culture. Their history is intertwined with the political and social events of the region, having played a role in various historical periods. The Zeydanlu, along with other Kurdish tribes in Khorasan, contribute to the diverse cultural tapestry of Iran.
