[[North Azerbaijani language|North Azerbaijani]] is the [[official language]] of the [[Republic of Azerbaijan]]. North Azerbaijani is the name applied to this variety of Azerbaijani in [[ISO 639-3]] ([http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/documentation.asp?id=azj azj]) and in [http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=azj Ethnologue], which is called ''{{lang|az-Latn|Azərbaycan dili}}'' in Azerbaijan. This variety is also spoken in [[Russia]]'s [[Republic of Dagestan]], south-eastern and eastern [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]], north eastern [[Turkey]] and in some parts of Ukraine. [[South Azerbaijani language|South Azerbaijani]] is the variety of Azerbaijani spoken in northwestern Iran. [[Iranian Azeris|Iranian Azerbaijanis]] often call it{{Fact|date=March 2008}} '''Azari''', '''Türki''' or '''Türki Azari'''. This variety is mainly spoken in the northwest provinces as the dominant language and a [[lingua franca]]: [[East Azarbaijan Province|East Azarbaijan]], [[West Azarbaijan Province|West Azarbaijan]], [[Ardabil Province|Ardabil]], [[Zanjan]], and in some regions of [[Kordestan Province|Kordestan]], [[Hamadan Province|Hamadan]] and [[Markazi Province|Markazi]]. Many Azeris also live in [[Tehran]], [[Karaj]] and other regions.<ref name="Library of Congress Iran">Azarbaijanis</ref> Generally, Azeris in Iran have been, "a well integrated linguistic minority", according to academics such as anthropologist Patricia Higgins.<ref name="ISBN6">pp.188-191</ref> South Azerbaijani is the name applied to this variety of Azerbaijani in [[ISO 639-3]] ([http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/documentation.asp?id=azb azb]) and in [http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=azb Ethnologue]. Azerbaijani is a [[Turkic languages|Turkic]] language of the [[Oghuz languages|Oghuz]] branch, closely related to [[Turkish language|Turkish]]. Azerbaijani is [[Mutually intelligible languages|mutually intelligible]] with other [[Oghuz languages]], which include Turkish and [[Turkmen language|Turkmen]]. ==History and evolution== :''For the languages spoken in Azerbaijan before the Turks' arrival, see:'' *''[[Languages of Azerbaijan]]'' *''[[Old Azari language]]'' The Azerbaijani language of today is based on the [[Oghuz language]], spread to Southwestern Asia in the course of the medieval [[Turkic migration]], heavily influenced by [[Persian language|Persian]] and [[Arabic language|Arabic]]. It gradually supplanted the previous Iranian languages—[[Tat language|Tat]], [[Ancient Azari language|Azari]], and [[Middle Persian]] in northern Iran, and a variety of [[Caucasian languages]] in the Caucasus, particularly [[Udi language|Udi]], and had become the dominant language before the time of the [[Safavid dynasty]]; however, minorities in both the Republic of Azerbaijan and Iran continue to speak the earlier [[Iranian languages]] to this day, and Middle- and [[New Persian]] loanwords are numerous in Azerbaijani. The historical development of Azerbaijani can be divided into two major periods: early (ca. 16th to 18th century) and modern (18th century to present). Old Azerbaijani differs from its descendant in that it contained a much greater amount of [[Persian language|Persian]], and [[Arabic language|Arabic]] loanwords, phrases and syntactic elements. Early writings in Azerbaijani also demonstrate lingustic interchangeability between Oghuz and Kypchak elements in many aspects (such as pronouns, case endings, participles, etc...). As Azerbaijani gradually moved from being merely a language of [[epic poetry|epic]] and [[lyric poetry]] to being also a language of [[journalism]] and [[scientific research]], its literary version has become more or less unified and simplified with the loss of many archaic Turkic elements, bulky Iranisms and Ottomanisms, and other words, expressions, and rules that failed to gain popularity among Azerbaijani-speaking masses. Between ca. 1900 and 1930, there were several competing approaches to the unification of the national language in Azerbaijan popularized by the literati. Despite major differences, they all aimed primarily at making it easy for semiliterate masses to read and understand literature. They all criticized the overuse of Persian, Arabic, Ottoman Turkish, and European (mainly [[Russian language|Russian]]) elements in both colloquial and literary language and called for a more simple and popular style. The Russian conquest of the [[South Caucasus]] in the 19th century split the speech community across two states; the [[Soviet Union]] promoted development of the language, but set it back considerably with two successive [http://www.azer.com/aiweb/categories/magazine/81_folder/81_articles/81_alphabet_changes1.html script changes] - from [[Perso-Arabic script]] to [[Latin alphabet|Latin]] and then to [[Cyrillic alphabet|Cyrillic]] - while Iranian Azeris continued to use the Perso-Arabic script as they always had. Despite the wide use of Azerbaijani during the Soviet era, it became the official language of Azerbaijan only in 1978 (along with [[Georgian language|Georgian]] in [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]] and [[Armenian language|Armenian]] in [[Armenia]]). After independence, the Republic of Azerbaijan decided to switch again to the Latin script, following the Turkish model. ==Literature== {{main|Azerbaijani literature}} Classical literature in Azerbaijani was formed in 14th century based on the [[Tabriz]]i and [[Shirvan]]i{{Fact|date=March 2008}} dialects (these dialects were used by classical Azerbaijani writers [[Nasimi]], [[Fuzuli]], and [[Khatai]]). Modern literature in the Republic of Azerbaijan is based on the Shirvani dialect only, while in Iran it is based on the Tabrizi one. The first newspaper in Azerbaijani, ''[[Akinchi|Əkinçi]]'' was published in 1875. In mid-19th century it was taught in the schools of [[Baku]], [[Ganja (city)|Ganja]], [[Shaki]], [[Tbilisi]], and [[Yerevan]]. Since 1845, it has also been taught in the [[University of St. Petersburg]] in [[Russia]]. Famous literary works in Azerbaijani are the [[Book of Dede Korkut|Book of Dada Gorgud]], the [[Epic of Köroğlu]], translation of [[Layla and Majnun]] (Dâstân-ı Leylî vü Mecnûn), and [[Heydar Babaya Salam]]. Important poets and writers of the Azerbaijani language include [[Imadeddin Nasimi]], [[Muhammed Fuzuli]], [[Hasanoglu Izeddin]], [[Shah Ismail I]], [[Khurshidbanu Natavan]], [[Mirza Fatali Akhundov]], [[Mirza Alakbar Sabir]], [[Bakhtiyar Vahabzade]], and [[Mohammad Hossein Shahriar]]. ==Distribution of native speakers== Since early last century, successive Iranian governments have avoided publishing any statistics on ethnic groups. This policy presents difficulty in providing any statistics on distribution and size of ethnicity in [[Iran]].{{Fact|date=February 2007}} |} ===Regions where Azerbaijani is spoken by significant group of people=== *[[North Azerbaijani language|North Azerbaijani]] variety [http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=azj 1] [[Azerbaijan]], and southern [[Dagestan]], along the [[Caspian]] coast in the southern [[Caucasus]] Mountains. Also spoken in [[Armenia]], [[Estonia]], [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]], [[Kazakhstan]], [[Kyrgyzstan]], [[Russia]] (Asia), [[Turkmenistan]], [[Uzbekistan]]. *[[South Azerbaijani language|South Azerbaijani]] variety [http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=azb 2] [[East Azerbaijan]] and [[West Azerbaijan]], [[Ardabil]], [[Zanjan]],and part of [[Kordestan]], [[Hamedan]], [[Qazvin]],[[Markazi]] and [[Gilan]] provinces. Many in districts of [[Tehran]]. Some Azerbaijani-speaking groups are in [[Fars Province]] and other parts of Iran. Also spoken in [[Afghanistan]], [[Azerbaijan]], [[Iraq]], [[Jordan]], [[Pakistan]], [[Syria]], [[Turkey]] (Asia) ==Dialects== Despite their relatively large number, dialects of Azerbaijani do not differ substantially. Speakers of various dialects normally do not have problems understanding each other. However minor problems may occur between Azerbaijani-speakers from the Caucasus and Iran, as some of the words used by the latter that are of Persian or Arabic origin may be unknown to the former. For example, the word ''firqə'' ("political party") used by Iranian Azeris may not be understood in Azerbaijan, where the word ''partiya'' is used to describe the same object. Such phenomenon is explained by the fact that both words have been in wide use since after the split of the two speech communities in 1828. The following list reflects only one of several perspectives on the dialectology of Azerbaijani. Some dialects may be varieties of others. *Ardabil dialect ([[Ardabil]] and western [[Gilan]], Iran) *Ayrum dialect (northwestern Azerbaijan; northeastern Armenia<big>{{rf|1|arm}}</big>) *Baku dialect (eastern Azerbaijan) *Borchali dialect (southern Georgia; northern Armenia<big>{{rf|1|arm}}</big>) *Derbent dialect (southern Russia) *Gabala (Gutgashen) dialect (northern Azerbaijan) *Ganja dialect (western Azerbaijan) *Gazakh dialect (northwestern Azerbaijan) *Guba dialect (northeastern Azerbaijan) *Hamadan dialect ([[Hamadan]], Iran) *Karabakh dialect (central Azerbaijan) *Karadagh dialect ([[East Azerbaijan]] and [[West Azerbaijan]], Iran) *Kars dialect (eastern Turkey and northwestern Armenia<big>{{rf|1|arm}}</big>) *Kirkuk dialect (northern Iraq) *Lankaran dialect (southeast Azerbaijan) *Maragheh dialect ([[East Azerbaijan]], Iran) *Mughan (Salyan) dialect (central Azerbaijan) *Nakhichevan dialect (southwestern Azerbaijan) *Ordubad dialect (southwestern Azerbaijan; southern Armenia<big>{{rf|1|arm}}</big>) *Shaki (Nukha) dialect (northern Azerbaijan) *Shirvan (Shamakhy) dialect (eastern Azerbaijan) *Tabriz dialect ([[East Azerbaijan]], Iran) *Urmia dialect ([[West Azerbaijan]], Iran) *Yamji dialect ([[West Azerbaijan]], Iran) *Yerevan dialect (central Armenia<big>{{rf|1|arm}}</big>) *Zagatala-Gakh dialect (northern Azerbaijan) *Zanjan dialect ([[Zanjan]], Iran) <br> <big>{{ent|1|arm}}</big> The denoted dialects were traditionally spoken in the given area until recent times. As a result of the [[Nagorno-Karabakh conflict]] virtually all Azeris fled Armenia by 1991, which is why Azerbaijani is no longer spoken there. ==Phonology== ===Consonants=== {| border="2" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial Unicode MS, Lucida Sans Unicode" |+caption | Consonant phonemes of Standard Azeri |- ! ! colspan="2" | [[Bilabial]] ! colspan="2" | [[Labiodental|Labio-</br>dental]] ! colspan="2" | [[Dental consonant|Dental]] ! colspan="2" | [[Alveolar consonant|Alveolar]] ! colspan="2" | [[Postalveolar|Post-</br>alveolar]] ! colspan="2" | [[Palatal]] ! colspan="2" | [[Velar consonant|Velar]] ! colspan="2" | [[Glottal consonant|Glottal]] |- align=center |[[Plosive]]s and<br/>[[affricate]]s | {{IPA|p}} | {{IPA|b}} | colspan="2" | | {{IPA|t}} | {{IPA|d}} | colspan="2" | | {{IPA|ʧ}} | {{IPA|ʤ}} | {{IPA|c}} | {{IPA|ɟ}} | {{IPA|k}} | {{IPA|ɡ}} | colspan="2" | |- align=center |[[Nasal consonant|Nasals]] | colspan="2" | {{IPA|m}} | colspan="2" | | colspan="2" | {{IPA|n}} | colspan="2" | | colspan="2" | | colspan="2" | | colspan="2" | | colspan="2" | |- align=center |[[Fricative]]s | colspan="2" | | {{IPA|f}} | {{IPA|v}} | {{IPA|s}} | {{IPA|z}} | colspan="2" | | {{IPA|ʃ}} | {{IPA|ʒ}} | colspan="2" | | {{IPA|x}} | {{IPA|ɣ}} | {{IPA|h}} |- align=center |[[Approximants]] | colspan="2" | | colspan="2" | | colspan="2" | | colspan="2" | {{IPA|l}} | colspan="2" | | colspan="2" | {{IPA|j}} | colspan="2" | | colspan="2" | |- align=center |[[Tap consonant|Taps]] | colspan="2" | | colspan="2" | | colspan="2" | | colspan="2" | {{IPA|ɾ}} | colspan="2" | | colspan="2" | | colspan="2" | | colspan="2" | |} # {{IPA|/ʧ/}} and {{IPA|/ʤ/}} are realised as {{IPA|[ʦ]}} and {{IPA|[ʣ]}} respectively in the areas around Tabriz and to the west, south and southwest of [[Tabriz]] (including [[Kirkuk]] in Iraq); in the Nakhchivan and Ayrum dialects, in [[Jabrayil]] and some Caspian coastal dialects;<ref>''Persian Studies in North America'' by Mohammad Ali Jazayeri</ref> #In many dialects of Azeri, {{IPA|/c/}} is realized as {{IPA|[ç]}} when it is found in the coda position or is preceded by a voiceless consonant (as in ''çörək'' {{IPA|[ʧœˈɾæç]}} - "bread"; ''səksən'' {{IPA|[sæçˈsæn]}} - "eighty"). #{{IPA|/k/}} appears only in words borrowed from [[Russian language|Russian]] or [[French language|French]] (spelled, as with {{IPA|/c/}}, with a ''k''). #{{IPA|/w/}} exists in the Kirkuk dialect as an allophone <!--in what context?-->of {{IPA|/v/}} in [[Arabic language|Arabic]] loanwords. #In the Baku dialect, {{IPA|/ov/}} may be realised as {{IPA|[oʷ]}}, and {{IPA|/ev/}} and {{IPA|/œv/}} as {{IPA|[œʷ]}}, e.g. {{IPA|/ɡovurˈma/}} → {{IPA|[ɡoʷurˈma]}}, {{IPA|/sevˈda/}} → {{IPA|[sœʷˈda]}}, {{IPA|/dœvˈran/}} → {{IPA|[dœʷˈran]}}{{Fact|date=December 2007}} ===Vowels=== {{IPA|Vowel phonemes of Standard Azeri}} <br>[[Image:Azeri vowel chart.png]] ==Alphabets== {{main|Azerbaijani alphabet}} [[Image:New Turkic alphabets.jpg|thumb|200px|Azerbaijan Latin alphabets]] In the [[Republic of Azerbaijan]], North Azerbaijani now officially uses the [[Latin alphabet]], but the [[Cyrillic alphabet]] is also in wide use, while in Iran, South Azerbaijani still uses the [[Perso-Arabic script]].

In 1929&ndash;1938 a [[Latin alphabet]] was in use for North Azerbaijani (although it was different from the one used now), from 1938 to 1991 the [[Cyrillic alphabet]] was used, and in 1991 the current [[Latin alphabet]] was introduced, although the transition to it has been rather slow. If written in the Latin alphabet, all foreign words are transliterated, for example, "Bush" becomes "Buş", and "Schröder" becomes "Şröder". [[Image:BakuCemetery.jpg|left|thumb|150px|View of a cemetery outside of [[Baku]], showing tombstones inscribed in the Persian(or Arabic) (far left), Cyrillic (middle) and Latin (far right) alphabets]] South Azerbaijani speakers in Iran have always continued to use the [[Perso-Arabic script]], although the spelling and orthography is not yet standardized{{Fact|date=February 2007}}. == Nomenclature == In 1992–1993, when [[Azerbaijan Popular Front Party]] was in power in [[Azerbaijan]], the official language of Azerbaijan was renamed by the parliament to ''Türk dili'' ("Turkic"). However, since 1994 the [[Soviet]] era name of the language, ''Azərbaycan dili'' ("Azerbaijani"), has been re-established and reflected in the Constitution. ''Varlıq'', the most important literary Azerbaijani magazine published in [[Iran]], uses the term ''Türki'' ("Turkic" in English or "Torki" in Persian) to refer to the Azerbaijani language. South Azerbaijani speakers in Iran often refer to the language as ''Türki'', distinguishing it from ''İstambuli Türki'' ("Anatolian Turkish"), the official language of [[Turkey]]. Some people also consider Azerbaijani to be a dialect of a greater Turkish language and call it ''Azərbaycan Türkcəsi'' ("Azerbaijani Turkish"), and scholars such as [[Vladimir Minorsky]] used this definition in their works. [[International Organization for Standardization|ISO]] and the [[Unicode Consortium]], call the macrolanguage "Azerbaijani" and its two varieties "North Azerbaijani" and "South Azerbaijani". According to the [[Linguasphere Observatory]], all [[Oghuz languages]] form part of a single 'outer language' of which "Azeri-N." and "Azeri-S." are 'inner languages'. == See also == *[[Azerbaijani people]] *[[Historical linguistics]] *[[Language families and languages]] *[[Old Azari language]] ==References== {{reflist}} == External links == {{Interwiki|code=az}} * [http://www.geocities.com/farzin0007/index.htm Learning Azerbaijani Site] * [http://www.azeri.org AZERI.org - Azerbaijan Literature and English translation] * [http://www.azer.com/aiweb/categories/magazine/81_folder/81_articles/81_index.html Alphabet and Language in Transition.
