Khorasani Turkic is an Oghuz Turkic language spoken by about 1 million people in North Khorasan Province (استان خراسان شمالی) and Razavi Khorasan Province (استان خراسان رضوی) in northeastern Iran. There are three dialects of Khorasani Turkic: North, which is spoken in North Khorasan, near Bojnourd; South, which is spoken in Soltanabad near Sabzevar, and West, which is spoken around Bojnourd.
Khorasani Turkic is part of the Oghuz group of Turkic languages, and is closely related to the Oghuz dialect spoken in Uzbekistan, as well as Turkmen, and the Azerbaijani dialects spoken in Iran.
Khorasan Turkic is not usually written and has no official status, however a version of the Perso-Arabic script is sometimes used to write the language. It can also be written with the Latin alphabet.
The letters ث، ح، ذ، ژ، ص، ض، ط، ظ and ع are only used in Arabic and Persian loanwords and names.
This is a way of writing Khorasani Turkic with the Cyrillic alphabet devised by Alexander Ilynovich from Kaluga Oblast, Russia.

ال غسا بیر زیود پدیشهی بـهریدی.
خوداوندی آلم اونا هیچ اوغول اتا ایلهمامیشدی.
بدن وازیره دهدی: «ای وازیر, منده کی اوغول یوخدی. من نه چاره ایولیم»؟
وازیر دهدی: «پادیشای قیبلنهیی آلم, سن بو مالیموالی نیلیسن»؟
Al ğəssa bir ziüəd pədişəhi bərıdı.
Xodavəndi ələm ona hiç oğul ata eləmamişdi.
Bədən vazirə dədi: «Ey vazir, məndə ki oğul yoxdı. Mən nə çarə eülem?»
Vazir dədi: «Padişai qıbləyi aləm, sən bu malıəmvalı nəyliyəsən?»
Ал гъэсса бир зиўэд пэдишэни бэрыды.
Хъодавэнди элэм она хич огъул ата елэмамишди.
Бэдэн вазирэ дэди: Ей вазир, мэндэ ки огъул йохды. Мэн нэ чарэ еўлем?
Вазир дэди: Падишаи къыблэйи алэм, сэн бу малыэмвалы нэйлийэсэн?
Thus, there was a padishah named Ziyad.
Almighty God had given him no son.
There he spoke to his vizier: "O Vizier, I have no son. What shall I do about it?"
The vizier said: "Ruler of the whole world, what will you do with this possession?"
