Another sub-group consisting of the descendants of Iranian Zoroastrians who have been arriving mainly to Bombay (now Mumbai) since the late 19th - early 20th century, are knows as Iranis and predominantly speak a variety of Parsi distinguished by specific syntactic and lexical features.The recordings encompass various unique Parsi-Zoroastrian rites de passages: initiation (navjote), marriage (arusi), and funeral (dakhmenashini) rituals, the latter exclusively performed by few hereditary corpse-bearers (khandiyars and nasusalars).
