Tehrani Accent
The Tehrani accent (), or Tehrani dialect (), is a dialect of Persian spoken in Tehran and the most common colloquial variant of Western Persian. Compared to literary standard Persian, the Tehrani dialect lacks original Persian diphthongs and tends to fuse certain sounds. The Tehrani accent should not be confused with the Old Tehrani dialect, which was a Northwestern Iranian dialect, belonging to the central group. Some of the words used in the Tehrani accent may derive from the northwestern Iranian language of Razi, such as ''sūsk'' "beetle; cockroach", ''jīrjīrak'' "cricket", ''zālzālak'' "haw(thorn)", and ''vejīn'' "weeding".

In every part of Tehran, this dialect was influenced by the neighboring cities. The nor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
