Circassians in Iran
The Circassians in Iran (East Circassian and West Circassian: Адыгэхэр Къажэрей, ''Adyghexer Kŭazhéreĭ''; (ペルシア語:چرکس در ایران)) are an ethnic minority in Iran. Circassians in Iran differ somewhat from the other Circassian diasporas in Western Asia in that most of them stem from the Safavid and Qajar era, although a number migrated as muhajirs in the late 19th century as well. The Circassians in Iran were very influential during periods in the last few centuries. The vast majority of them have assimilated to Persian language, and no sizeable number speaks their native Circassian languages anymore.〔 Once a very large minority in Iran, nowadays due to being heavily assimilated over the course of time and the lack of censuses based on ethnicity, population estimates vary significantly. They are, after the Georgians, the largest Caucasus-derived group in the nation. The Circassians in Iran are almost exclusively Shia Muslims of the Twelver faith.
In Persian, the word ''Cherkes'' (چرکس) is sometimes also applied generally to Caucasian peoples living beyond Derbent in Dagestan,〔 which was the northernmost principal city of Iran prior to its ceding to Russia in the first half of the 19th century following the Treaty of Gulistan.
==History==
Circassians in Iran have a long history. To a certain good extent, they shared the same role as their other Circassian brethren who lived in neighbouring Ottoman Turkey; many were importees, deportees, slaves, but also made up many of the notable noble families in the empire, while many others were kingmakers, military commanders, soldiers, craftsmen, peasants, while they also composed many of the kings' wives and women in the harem. Under the various kings of the Safavid and Qajar dynasty, hundreds of thousands of Circassians would eventually happen to live in Iran.
