Introduction to the Lak Culture

The Laki culture are a descendant group of the Kurdish people. The Kurdish culture are descendants from an Aryan tribe from Central Asia.  The Laki culture is dated back to the end of the 16th Century.  Today there is an estimated total of 1,125,000 people that make up this culture.  Their known language is Laki, and the region they have established is mainly in southwestern Iran.  The religion that primarily most of them follow is known as Islam, a common religion for this region of the world.  The neighboring community tribes are the Kurds and Lurs.  The Lurs are also a descendant of the Kurdish culture.  The land that they live on is mostly mountainous with plains in some areas.  This being the case, they primarily grow barely and wheat.  Fruits, vegetables, and some sugar is also grown in these areas of crops.  The Persian Gulf also provides the Laki communities with plentiful amounts of fish for a source of food.  Along with fish the Laki people raise livestock, most common being sheep, as a source of food to accommodate for times without seafood being available.  The Laki culture doesn't have much evidence to show when they broke away from the Kurdish people, but it is known that they are their own culture in a niche of this world.
