Re: Gilaki
I noticed that too! I think this is probably because they are both from the same language family subgroup.

May I introduce you to varg.ir?

Re: Gilaki
What a nice song! I'd like to learn Gilaki, as I have familial ties to Rasht, but all I know is a little Mazandarani. There are some good resources for Gilaki on Wikipedia (English, Persian, and Gilaki), as well as on this blog.
Edit: I shared the song with a Gilani friend, who explained: mi chelcherâne means "chelcherâgh-e man" (my candleholder, ie my light). The singer is admiring a girl, her rice field, her teapot, and everything about her. She also shared this Gilaki song about Mirza Kuchak Khan.

Re: Gilaki
ناصر مسعودی is its greatest singer, known as Gilan's nightingale. Google for his songs :winks:
Knowing the dialect of Native Tehranis (another northern dialect), I understand Gilaki and Mazani to some extent but I also like to learn them well.
Gilakis say «emšow šimi», here they say «emšow mišim» (Persian: emšab mirim)
