Farrokhi (Persian: فرخي)[a] is a city in the Central District of Khur and Biabanak County, Isfahan province, Iran, serving as the administrative center for Biabanak Rural District.[4] Farrokhi's documented history begins as late as the Qajar period. It was then one of the eight major villages that constituted Biabanak District of Khur and Biabanak County.[citation needed]

Language

[edit]

Farrokhi has its local dialect, called Farvi or Farvigi, a variety of the West Iranian language spoken in southern Biabanak district.[5]

Population

[edit]

The earliest demographic data comes from the local census of 1884, which recorded 939 inhabitants in 230 households.[6]

At the time of the 2006 National Census, Farrokhi's population was 2,715 in 668 households, when it was a village in Biabanak Rural District of the former Khur and Biabanak District of Nain County.[7] The following census in 2011 counted 2,502 people in 724 households,[8] by which time the district had been separated from the county in the establishment of Khur and Biabanak County. The rural district was transferred to the new Central District,[9] and Farrokhi was elevated to the status of a city.[10] The 2016 census measured the population of the city as 2,968 people in 909 households.[2]
