Ardalan Emirates
Ardalan ()[1] was a hereditary Kurdish vassaldom in western Iran from around the 14th century until 1865[2] or 1868[3] with Sanandaj as capital.[4] The territory corresponded roughly to present-day Kurdistan Province of Iran and the rulers were loyal to the Qajar Empire. Baban was its main rival. Gorani was the literary language and lingua franca.[4][5] When the vassaldom fell, literary work in Gorani ceased.[6]
