History
editBandar Ganaveh is the place where the Persian warlord, and founder of the Qarmatian State Abu Sa'id al-Jannabi originated from.[5][6] Ganaveh was historically famous for its pearl fishing and tiraz production, but it seems to have already been in decline by the 10th century.[7] The reason may have been because of the Qarmatian wars, or perhaps because of the lack of water supplies.[7] It had been the port of Bishapur and then Kazerun.[7]
Demographics
editLanguage
editMost of the population speak a dialect of Southern Lorish with some (in some case, great) influence from Bushehri speech.[citation needed]
