Laz has five major dialects:
- Hopan, spoken in Hopa;
- Vitse-Arkabian, spoken in Arhavi and Fındıklı;
- Chkhalan, spoken in Düzköy;
- Atinan, spoken in Pazar (former Atina);
- Ardeshenian, spoken in Ardeşen.
The last two are often treated as a single Atinan dialect. Speakers of different Laz dialects have trouble understanding each other, and often prefer to communicate in the local official language.
