Sistan and Baluchestan Province ((ペルシア語:استان سيستان و بلوچستان), ''Ostān-e Sīstān-o Balūchestān'') is one of the 31 provinces of Iran. It is in the southeast of the country, bordering Pakistan and Afghanistan and its capital is Zahedan. The province is the largest in Iran, with an area of 181,785 km² and a population of 2.5 million. 〔(Selected Findings of National Population and Housing Census, 2011 )〕 The counties of the province are Chabahar, Qasar-qand, Dalgan, Hirmand, Iranshahr, Khash, Konarak, Nikshahr, Saravan, Sarbaz, Soran, Zabol, Zaboli, Zahedan and Zehak. The population comprises the Baluch who form a majority in the province, followed by the relatively large minority, the Sistani Persians. Smaller communities of Kurds (in the eastern highlands and near Iranshahr, the expatriate Brahui (on the borders between Iran and Pakistan), and other resident and itinerant ethnic groups such as the Gypsies are also found in the province. ==Geography and culture== The province comprises two sections, ''Sistan'' in the north and ''Baluchestan'' in the south. The combined Sistan and Baluchestan province today accounts for one of the driest regions of Iran with a slight increase in rainfall from east to west, and an obvious rise in humidity in the coastal regions. The province is subject to seasonal winds from different directions, the most important of which are the 120-day wind of Sistan known as ''Levar'', the ''Qousse'' wind, the seventh (''Gav-kosh'') wind, the ''Nambi'' or south wind, the ''Hooshak'' wind, the humid and seasonal winds of the Indian Ocean, the North or (''Gurich'') wind and the western (''Gard'') wind. In the south, east and west of Sistān and Balūchestān, the people are mostly Balōch and speak the Baluchi language. In the far north of Sistān and Balūchestān, the people are mostly Persians and speak a dialect of the Persian language known as sistani/seestani, similar to the Dari Persian language in Afghanistan. The name ''Balūchestān'' means "Land of the Balōch" and is used to represent the majority Baloch peoples inhabiting the province, Sistan was added to the name to represent the minority Persian peoples who speak the sistani dialect of Persian. Many scholars, orators, and literary personalities have sprung up from this part of Iran, amongst which are Farrukhi Sistani, Ya'qub bin Laith as-Saffar and Rostam. Ayatollah Sistani is also from Sistān; though he currently resides in Najaf, Iraq . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sistan and Baluchestan Province」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
