Old Azari Language
Azari, also known as Old Azeri (Persian: آذری Āḏarī, also spelled Adari, Adhari), was the Iranian language once spoken in Iranian Azerbaijan. Some linguists believe the southern Tati dialects of Azerbaijan, like those spoken by the Tats around Khalkhal, Harzand and Keringan to be remnants of Azari. In addition, Old Azari is known to have strong affinities with Talysh.
Azari was the dominant language in Azerbaijan before it was replaced by a Turkic language, also known as the Azeri (or Azerbaijani) language.
