Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.

The Talysh language is a Northwestern Iranian language belonging to the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European family. It is spoken primarily in northern Iran and southern Azerbaijan by the Talysh people. With its rich phonetic system and distinct dialects, Talysh is considered an endangered language due to the dominance of Persian in Iran and Azerbaijani in Azerbaijan. Efforts to preserve and promote Talysh include linguistic documentation, cultural initiatives, and education programs, particularly by the diaspora and local advocates.

Gilaki is an Iranian language spoken primarily in the northern Iranian province of Gilan along the southern shores of the Caspian Sea. It belongs to the Northwestern branch of the Iranian languages and is closely related to Mazandarani and Talysh. Despite sharing some vocabulary with Persian due to centuries of contact, Gilaki is a distinct language with its own grammar, sounds, and structure. It has several dialects, including Western, Eastern, and Galeshi, and is traditionally written in a modified Perso-Arabic script. Though often overshadowed by Persian, Gilaki remains a vital marker of identity for its speakers and is used in homes, local media, poetry, and folk songs.

This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes. It aims to provide valuable insights and knowledge to viewers, enhancing their understanding and appreciation of different languages and their unique characteristics. By raising awareness about linguistic diversity, the video seeks to foster a greater respect and recognition for various languages, particularly those that are endangered or underrepresented. Additionally, it contributes to the preservation of languages by documenting and sharing linguistic knowledge, thus ensuring that these languages and their cultural heritage are not lost to future generations.
