Abstract:

While the typology, syntax, and morphology of Iranian languages have
been widely explored, the sociolinguistic aspects remain largely
understudied. The present companion addresses this essential yet
overlooked area of research in two ways: (i) The book explores
multilingualism within Iran and its neighbouring countries. (ii) It
also investigates Iranian heritage languages within the diasporic
context of the West.

The scope of languages covered is vast: In addition to discussing
Iranian minority languages such as Tati and Balochi, the book explores
non-Iranian minority languages such as Azeri, Tukmen, Armenian and
Mandaic. Furthermore, the companion investigates Iranian heritage
languages such as Wakhi, Pashto, and Persian within their diasporic
and global contexts.

In the current era of migration and globalization, minority and
heritage speakers are increasingly valuable resources. By focusing on
the speakers, the companion provides new insights into a multitude of
sociolinguistic issues including language attitude and identity,
language use and literacy practices, language policy, language shift
and loss.

The companion is an essential reference for those interested in
Iranian languages, minority languages, heritage languages,
sociolinguistics, bilingualism, language policy and planning, diaspora
and migration studies, as well as those researching in related fields.
