Ardalan also known as Ardalanids, house of Ardalan, Ardalind dynasty,[1] (Sorani Kurdish: میرنشینی ئەردەڵان)[2] was a hereditary Kurdish Emirate in western Iran from around the 14th century until 1865[3] or 1868[4] with Sanandaj as capital.[5] The Ardalan state was completely independent until 1617, when it was incorporated into Safavid Empire as a semi-independent frontier province by the name of Ardalan.[6] 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.[5][7] When the Ardalan emirate fell, literary work in Gorani ceased.[8]
