Since the Nagorno-Karabakh war, Sheylanlis were forced to live in Aghjabadi rayon, Azerbaijan . They speak Kurmanji dialect of the Kurdish Language . This tribe is considered to be one of the 24 Kurdish tribes those were moved from Iran to Karabakh and Zangezur by Shah Abbas I of Iran in 16th century to fortify the borders of the Safavid Empire . Tatiana F. Aristova gives some Sheylanli Kurdish family names such as Asadlar, Ismaillar, Nabilar, and Khudular in the book Kurdy Zakavkazia.
