The Mazanderani people (Mazanderani: مازرونی مردمون), also known as the Tabari people or Tabarestani people (Mazanderani: توری مردمون or تبری مردمون), are an Iranian people[3][4][5] who are indigenous to the Caspian Sea region of Iran. They are also referred to as Mazanis for short. They inhabit the southern coast of the Caspian Sea and are part of the historical region known as Tabaristan. The Alborz mountains mark the southern boundary of the area settled by the Mazanderani people.[6][7]
