Anarak dialect is divergent. Other dialects, or closely related languages, are Abchuya'i, Keyjani and Tudeshki. Sources differ on whether Zefra'i is a dialect of Nayini or of Gazi.
Ethnologue provisionally lists Khuri as a dialect. However, that appears to belong to a different branch of Central Iranian.
