The people residing in Chalus speak Mazanderani. In western Chalus, the dialect of Kalarestaqi is spoken[5] and in eastern Chalus, the dialect of Kojuri.[6] During the Pahlavi dynasty, a group of Langrud people migrated from Gilan to Chalus. The Langrudi living in Chalus speak Eastern Gilaki. The Eastern Gilaki language is spoken in the entire Chalus River valley, though some Kurdish tribes were established in Kojur and Kelardasht in the Qajar period.[7]
