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.

Famous quotes containing the word language:
“It’s not that we want the political jobs themselves ... but they seem to be the only language the men understand. We don’t really want these $200 a year jobs. But the average man doesn’t understand working for a cause.”
—Jennie Carolyn Van Ness (b. c. 1890–?)
