The Kumzari language is a blend of Arabic, Farsi, and Portuguese. Kumzar, the village name in which the language is mostly spoken, is a compound of two arabic words: kam, "how much" and zar, "visitors." Kumzar was frequently visited by foreigners passing through the Strait of Hormuz, as it was a fresh water stop, and the reason why it became a melting pot for the different languages.
