Some facts about Azerbaidjani language

The term "Azeri language" is also sometimes used to refer to a dialect of the Tat language spoken in Azerbaijan.

The Azerbaijanian language, also called Azeri, Azari, Azeri Turkish, or Azerbaijanian Turkish, is the official language of Republic of Azerbaijan. Some dialects of the language are spoken in many parts of Iran (but most notably in the northwestern areas, known as the Iranian Azarbaijan), where it is the most popular minority language and there are more speakers than any other country in the world. The language is also spoken in Russia's Republic of Dagestan, south-eastern Georgia, northern Iraq, and eastern Turkey.

There are approximately between 22 and 50 million native Azerbaijanian speakers. It is a Turkic language of Oghuz branch, closely related to Turkish and also historically influenced by Persian and Arabic languages.

History and Evolution

The Azerbaijani language of today was brought in from Central Asia by the Oghuz Seljuk Turks. It gradually supplanted the previous languages - Tat and Pahlavi in the south, and a variety of Caucasian languages, particularly Udi, further north - and had become the dominant language before the Safavid dynasty; however, minorities in both the Republic of Azerbaijan and Iran continue to speak the earlier languages to this day, and Pahlavi and Persian loanwords are numerous in Azerbaijani. It became a literary language early on, with some works from as early as the 11th century. The Russian conquest of northern Azerbaijan 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 script changes - from Arabic alphabet to Latin to Cyrillic - while Iranian Azeris continued to use Arabic as they always had. After independence, the Republic of Azerbaijan decided to switch again, to the Latin script, following the Turkish model.
