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.
