Davan

Iran / Fars / Kazerun / كازرون
DaVaN is one of the oldest villages of Iran. It is located in south west of Fars Province, and also is surrounded by the Zagros Mountains. It has often been asserted that DaVaN was founded around 500 B.C. The fact that there is a fire temple which gives grounds for believing that its history can be traced back at least as far as Achaemenian Era. The Davani dialect is rooted in Iranian language which is considered to belong to the Indo-Iranian family of languages. This dialect is still one of the most pure ancient dialect in Iran.
