Verbs in the Mazandarani Dialect of Velatru: From the Texts Published by Ann Lambton

In her Three Persian Dialects (1938), the late Ann K. S. Lambton provides texts and vocabularies on the dialects of Mayma and Jawshaqan, villages located in central Persia, and on the dialect of Velatru, a mountainous village north of Tehran, situated off the road leading from the capital to the Caspian town of Chalus. Velatruʹi has been characterized as a marginal sub-dialect of Mazandarani, and the purpose of this paper is to investigate the extent of this relationship by examining the morphology of the Velatruʹi verbs. The results of the analysis confirms this affinity, though an outstanding Mazandarani trait such as the gemination of the nasal element (< Old Iranian participle formant *-ant-) in the personal endings of the present tense has been attenuated in this dialect.
