Although the old shirazy dialect is vanished and substituted by Dari dialect since sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, it has still some signs in the current shirazy dialect. So, although the main differences between the current diatype in shiraz and standard speech dialect are related to the differences between the accents, this diatype has some special structural patterns and words of its own which means that it has some features of a dialect. Hereupon, in this article, some of the structural patterns of shirazy dialect are studied: present perfect tense, attached subjective pronouns, verb to be(“ast” [=is]). In the current shirazy dialect, the present perfect tense is conjugated completely or in short forms.
