[citation needed] The Evazi people consider themselves and their traditions to be "Khodmooni," which literally translates to "of our own" in Persian and Larestani dialects.
Today, Evazi as a mother tongue is being increasingly abandoned by the younger generation in favour of Persian, Arabic or English.
In many cases, the cultural roots of those whose families have migrated several decades ago have been eroded and replaced by the new language of necessity.
Even the word Evaz is now predominantly replaced with "Awadh" Except for 1% or 2% of Evazis of African ethnicity whose ancestors were brought to Evaz for domestic work (To editors: This phrase was part of my sentence and has been incorrectly edited by the previous member), like the rest of the fellow Larestani Ethnic, they are a mix of Arab, Afghan, Baluch, Lur, Persian due to the consecutive migratory interactions as well as invasions which have occurred within the region of Larestan.
[citation needed] As opposed to most other parts of Iran, Sunni Islam is the dominant religion in Evaz.
[citation needed] At the time of the 2006 National Census, the city's population was 14,315 in 3,297 households,[8] when it was the capital of the former Evaz District of Larestan County.
[2] Evaz is one of the fastest-growing cities in the region due in large part to a number of Evazi individuals who provide financial support for the development of robust academic infrastructure.
[4] Due to a history of mass migration, the precise number of Evazis in the world is difficult to determine at this stage.
The town of Evaz is located in the Fars province of Iran and about 370 kilometers southeast of Shiraz.
Evaz receives minimal rainfall, estimated to be approximately 7.5 cm (3 inches) on average per year.
