Comments on writing systems:
As in most other languages and dialects of central Iran, Kuhpāʾi has remained unwritten. However, a substantial amount of literature has been produced by Reżā Maddāhi Kuhpāʾi (d. 2011), with the pen name of Reżā Darviš. Only a little of his poetry has been published (Borjian, 2004, 2011).
