An Introduction to Historical Investigation of Jahromi's Words

Jahrom is one of the southern cities in Farse Province in Iran. Nowadays Dari Persian is common there, but before that people spoke south-western Middle Persian language there. So a lot of Sasani Pahlavi words can be seen in this accent which caused this accent outstanding in Fars. In this article, we try to introduce some of these Pahlavi words and find their etymologies in Middle Persian texts and illustrate that these words win in their competition with Dari Persian words and some of them remained unchanged. When it is necessary, we use "Generative phonology" and "Autosegmental phonology" approaches for investigating the phonetic and phonological changes.
