Sanjâbi (tribe)
The Sanjâbi or Senjâwi are one of the biggest Kurdish tribes in Kermanshah Province of Iran. They also live in Sulaymaniyah in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The Sanjabi dialect is a branch of the Southern Kurdish language family. They are almost entirely Yarsani. They are notable for having played a leading role in the intertribal history of western Iran, protecting its borders against neighbouring powers—the Russian, British, and especially the Ottoman Empire.
