The Study of Qashqai Language: Comparison between Azari Turkish Language and Qashqai Tribe

A language is barely distinguishable from an accent; therefore, it has raised a controversial issue about Turkish, Luri and Kurdish languages. whereas some people are too intolerant to accept their language as an accent, this paper focuses on Qashqai as a Turkish tribal language as well as considering its accents since the scope is too broad to consider all regions, languages and their accents. At the end of the article a comparison is applied on Qashqai and Azari as Turkish languages in the case of pronunciation, lexical and grammatical orders such as, absence of some letters and pronunciations in each accent, different words for the same reference and suffixes attached to verbs. Moreover, the role of bilingualism and the effect of Persian language on both Turkish accents has been analyzed.
