First Mention of "Zaza"

"zaza"

The first mention of the word Zaza appears on the Behistun Inscription. The text of the inscription is a statement by Darius I of Persia. In the inscription Darius says, “there (is) a town Zazana by name along the Euphrates…” [1]. However, the connection between the Zaza people and the town Zazana referred to by Darius is questionable.
It is generally believed that the Zazas immigrated to their modern day homeland from the southern shores of the Caspian Sea. Some Zazas use the word Dimli (Daylami) to describe their ethnic identity. The word Dimli (Daylami) also describes a region ofGilan Province in today’s Iran. The Zazaki language also shows similarities with GilakiMazanderani and others spoken by the southern shores of the Caspian Sea.
