The majority of the population of Iran, which accounts for approximately 80% of its total inhabitants, consists of a diverse range of Iranic peoples. The largest ethnic groups within this broad category include the Persians, who are most commonly referred to as Fars and comprise about 61% of the Iranian population, alongside the Kurds, who make up around 10% of the population. In addition to these prominent communities, there are several other important groups that contribute to the rich tapestry of Iranian society, including Semnanis, Khorasani Kurds, Larestanis, Khorasani Balochs, as well as Gilakis, Laks, Mazandaranis, Lurs, Tats, Talysh, and Baloch. Each of these groups adds to the cultural and ethnic diversity that characterizes Iran today.
