It is unclear whether Khorasani Turkic should be considered one, two, three or five varieties. Doerfer and Hesche (1993) treat it as having five varieties: Northwest , Southwest , Southeast , Northeast , and North . This treatment is followed here. In other works, Doerfer breaks Khorasani Turkic into three groups: Central Oghuz (Southwest), Southern Oghuz (Northwest, Southwest), and East Oghuz (North, Northeast). Other works simply have a north-south division based on whether copulas employ forms resembling possessives (south) or forms resembling pronouns (north). Doerfer, Gerhard, and Wolfram Hesche. 1993. Chorasantürkish: Wörterlisten, Kurzgrammatiken, Indices . Wiesbaden: Otto Harrassowitz. Tulu, Sultan. 2014. "Die Stellung der Mundart Langar im Chorasantürkischen." Dil Araştırmaları 15: 61-69.
