Лури тілі: Иран тілдерінің ерекшелігі мен диалектілері

Iranian language

Luri (, ) is a Southwestern Iranian language continuum spoken by the Lurs, an Iranian people native to Western Asia. The Luri dialects are descended from Middle Persian and are Central Luri, Bakhtiari, and Southern Luri. in Iran.

Luri is the closest living language to Archaic and Middle Persian. The language descends from Middle Persian (Parsig). It belongs to the Persid or Southern Zagros group, and is lexically similar to modern Persian, differing mainly in phonology. According to the Encyclopædia Iranica, "All Lori dialects closely resemble standard Persian and probably developed from a stage of Persian similar to that represented in Early New Persian texts written in Perso Arabic script. The sole typical Lori feature not known in early New Persian or derivable from it is the inchoative marker (see below), though even this is found in Judeo Persian texts". The Bakhtiāri dialect may be closer to Persian. There are two distinct languages, Greater Luri (Lor e bozorg), Southern Luri (including Bakhtiari dialect), and Lesser Luri (Lor e kuček), Northern Luri. Around of Hamadan province speak Northern Luri.

The Bakhtiari dialect is the main first language in the province of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari (around ), except around Sharekord, Borujen, Ben and Saman counties, where Persian, Turkic and Chaharmahali dialect predominate. Around of Isfahan province speak Bakhtiari.

The language consists of Central Luri, Bakhtiari, and Southern Luri.

In comparison with other Iranian languages, Luri has been less affected by foreign languages such as Arabic and Turkic. Nowadays, many ancient Iranian language characteristics are preserved and can be observed in Luri grammar and vocabulary. According to diverse regional and socio ecological conditions and due to longtime social interrelations with adjacent ethnic groups especially Kurds and Persians, different dialects of Luri, despite mainly common characteristics, have significant differences. The northern dialect tends to have more Kurdish loanwords inside and southern dialects (Bakhtiari and Southern Luri) have been more exposed to Persian loanwords.
