The Gilaki dialect belongs to the north-western group of Iranian languages. The Gilaki dialect is spread along the southern shore of the Caspian Sea in one of the northern provinces of Iran known as Guilan. The native speakers of the language call themselves Gilaks and their dialect Gilaki. In Guilan province, Gilaki is the vernacular language of some three million people mostly born in central and eastern Guilan province. The present study focuses on the commonalities in expressions used in English, Farsi and Gilaki. To conduct the study, 50 people from all walks of life from Langroud, Eastern Guilan, were interviewed. The expressions uttered in Gilaki were then analyzed and compared in meaning with their nearest equivalents in English and Farsi languages. The study showed that Gilaki satisfied the criteria necessary to be considered a language rather than a dialect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
