Beyrey (Ali Sherwan) is one of the largest Kurdish tribes of Īlām Province in Iran. According to the olders of the tribe, Alisherwan (Founder of the tribe) was a member of Kurdish tribe of Sanjâbi in Kermanshah province. It is divided into 4 main clans: Hiar wandi, Dara wandi, Safar wandi and Cheragh wandi. The region inhabited by this tribe is south-east of Ilam city all the way to Dareh Shahr. A notable number of members of this tribe lived in Iraq as one of the main branches of Feyli Kurds in Baghdad but they were deported by Saddam Hussein's regime and now mostly live in Europe.
The Ali Sherwan people speak Feyli dialect (Mahaki sub-dialect) of the Kurdish language.
