Tati (Persian: تاتی) is a group of northwestern Iranian dialects which are closely related to Talysh language.

Some sources like Gholamhossein Mosahab's The Persian Encyclopedia use the term Azari/Azeri to refer, not to Azerbaijani, but to the Tati language which was spoken in the region before the spread of Turkic languages (see Ancient Azari language), and is now only spoken by different rural communities in Iranian Azerbaijan (such as villages in Harzanabad area, villages around Khalkhal and Ardabil), and also in Zanjan and Qazvin provinces.
