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 his brother, who was traveling with the negotiating team, were conducted in Sorkhei. This was done to eliminate or reduce comprehensibility of the conversation by intelligence organizations in the event of a phone tap.[4]
