Abstract:

The Iranian languages are one of the world's major language families. With an
estimated 150 to 200 million native speakers, these languages constitute the
western group of the larger Indo-Iranian family, which represents a major
eastern branch of the Indo-European languages. Geographically, the Iranian
Languages are spoken from Central Turkey, Syria and Iraq in the West to
Pakistan and western edged of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China in the
east. Iranian languages have long been among the major interests of the
philologists and general linguists, and European scholars have made tremendous
contributions to the study of this language family. In light of such efforts,
now we know that the Iranian languages can be historically divided into three
phases, that are old, middle and new Iranian languages, and the new Iranian
languages may be generally grouped as Eastern and Western. In recent years,
the orientation towards typology has led to the appearance of somewhat more
ponderance on the subject but the work has not included description of some of
the very important languages of the Caspian, and or of the religious
minorities (such as those of the Zoroastrians or the Jewish community), of the
four-fold Central Plateau dial.
