In Balochi folklore, the Gulf is frequently referenced as a land of opportunities and employment. Poetry, lullabies or songs sung by women at weddings for instance contain references to the economic prosperity offered in Dubai.[citation needed] Some Baloch speak Persian and Urdu as languages from countries such as Iran and Pakistan.[citation needed]
