I cannot speak the Pahli dialect, I'm not providing you with any names of clans or family, I'm talking at least a 100 years ago I do not consider my self Pahli because i simply don't speak it and my family has obviously been mixed with other tribes. Bu both my sides show Pahli elements, both parents are full black features and my mums side have mainly green eyes. My dad is naturally built and hairy common traits among pahlis but that does not mean the rest of Kurds aren't...
In what way does having black hair imply your a fayli? I mean you do realise 70-80% of Kurds have black/dark hair? So I really do not know how it is a "Pahli feature". Though you it seems like you would know, considering you haven't actually been to Ilam or Khanaqin.
Here are how my tribe look like:
These are my family members, some of them atleast:
Here are some other Kurds from my tribe:

I'm not speaking on behalf of illamis I'm telling you that the ones here in Australia identify themselves with Iranians and will speak Farsi over Kurdish why would I lie to you. They wear the farawahar everywhere and have all Persian friends even though they sometimes come to Kurdish events they are always separated into their own groups. Of course I hate this and I wish all Kurds to be the same but it's the mentality that still exists in us. I just hate seeing Kurds being "Persian" and have noticed pahlis and illamis etc to marry non Kurds a lot, I am not joking a lot .... Persian women love Kurdish men cause their men are so faggy.
How do you know they are Ilamis? They can be anything, and just because they tell you they are Fayli, it doesn't make them Fayli. What tribe did they state they are from? Because firstly a Farahavar isn't Persian, secondly having Persian friends doesn't make you Persian. Thirdly inter-marriages with Persians is quite rare amongst Faylis. Kirmanshahi Kurds may marry Persian, but they aren't Fayli. Most Persians view us as Barbarians anyway
Once again I don't speak on behalf of Kurds in Kurdistan but judging by YouTube and the people here it kinda speaks for itself, one of my family friends actually is a Kurdish migration helper he helps and settles newly arrived Kurds into Australian society and the Kurdish community held a barbecue for the new Pahli families to meet the other Kurds. He reminded the, many times (their was 4 new family's) that they were to meet at a local park and bring nothing and we can arrange transport for them. They said its fine and they will be their, then on the day a lot of Kurds go to greet them and guess what they didn't even bother to ring or notify that they'd erect coming to the park. I don't know what made them do this but obviously they don't want to be involved with the Kurds....
Youtube videos can be made by anyone, so that is invalid to use that as a source to base your information off. Though I would be very eager to see what videos have been telling you they identify as Persian, because I have family in Australia; they seem to state otherwise.
I fully acknowledge that Persian is an ethnicity in Iran however not the majority (Azeris are)
Iraqi is a nationality, but here it just means your Arab
Iranian is a lame excuse for Persian but is a nationality and is treated as an ethnicity
Well then you shouldn't be a conformist or believe what people tell you automatically without any questioning.
Actually being Pahli for me is to be highly regarded they are actually very Kurdish and are one of the biggest tribes in Kurdistan I think they number over 5 million? I'm only part Pahli certainly not full but I always get called one.
Fayli isn't a tribe, its a clan, but your correct on the numbers.
But it is very unfortunate that most of the faylis I know marry non Kurds if you know any in Australia I will provide names and Facebook accounts just private message me and I'll find you all the links you need... But take into consideration that some of their face books are private
That would be great if you do.
