The present article, with an emphasis on vowel shift of /u:/ with /ʉː/, examines phonetic changes in the Kurdish dialect of the native Kurdish speaker Lilakhi immigrants living in Sanandaj to improve social status through the application of changes known as "phonetic strategies for prestige promotion." Therefore, the authors intend to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of language change and their impact on social identity through the study of variables such as age, gender, and socioeconomic status. The research data includes 20 words in the Kurdish language in which the vowel under study is located at nucleus, and the distinction between them in the two dialects Lilakhi and Ardalani lies only in the phonetic manifestation of this vowel. The statistical population of the study also consists of 30 respondents who were selected through systematic sampling method and considering the equal distribution of gender, age and social class factors and they were asked to express each of the words they have in the form of a sentence or phrase. The results of the study show that the negative correlation between age and the use of the vowel /u:/ indicates a meaningful relationship.

In a period when “Homeland world” is heavily advertised, the protection of native and ethnic identity elements is inevitable and deserves to be borne over by many artists, poets and writers of countries. This research seeks to show that how Manuchehr Atashi, the prominent poet of the south in a space full of overwhelming propaganda that has captured thoughts, has been able to sustain his native and regional identity in an unlimited space of poetry. Studies show that Atashi has used Allegory to maintain his native and regional identity elements and has made the native identity legible and effective in his poetry by quoting narratives and mentioning memories from the past to present time. Then by combining the words, idioms, proverbs and native vocabulary of his region with official Persian language has achieved the ability to retain his native identity, region and poetry.

The native identity has not been considered much in Persian classical literature and olden poets have not trended much to reflex their living nature and environment in their poems. But, Nima along with his innovations in different aspects of the poem, entered ecology into the realm of poetry and found some followers; Manuochehr Atashi is on the top of the proponents of this style who consciously shows a special trend to provide local and native symbols, elements and images. In keeping with the nostalgic feeling of homesickness and encountering with modernity, he has a deliberate approach to the native identity and his poetry’s motif is mostly based on the local environment and climate of the south. Regarding the importance of the identity as a basic principle of a nation or community’s unity, in the present paper, it has been attempted to illustrate Atashi’s motivation to pay attention to the native identity on the one hand and examine its presented contents and components in his poem and provide a clear framework of this concept on the other hand. Studies demonstrate that the most important aspects of the native identity in Atashi’s poetry include: celebrities memorials, usage of the specific, native vocabulary of the south, Presentation of the images and names of places, native plants and animals And considering some traditions and beliefs of south of country.
