This paper aims to explore and describe Ardestani dialect. Ardestan is located in the northeast of Isfahan and is neighbors with cities of Garmsar, foothills of Isfahan, Nain, Natanz, Aran and Bidgol. Ardestani is a part of an analogous group of dialect sets in central Iran. Among the various dialects of central Iran, Ardestani, along with Anaraki, Behdini, Naini, Zefrei, and the Jewš of Yazd and Kerman dialects, is categorized as southeastern dialect. Dialects of Central Iran themselves are a part of larger pool known as western Iranian dialects. Ardestani, in terms of phonetics, is one of the most sophisticated and complex of Iranian dialects; unfortunately, except two other foreign papers, by Harold Bailey and Pierre Lecoq, no other notable or remarkable works have ever been done about it. In this study, the Ardestani dialect has been investigated and described in phonetical, morphological and syntactic contexts.

Nezami Gandzhaee (passed away in 1206 CE) uses the word “Wine” in one of the verses of Sharafnameh to give us some explanation in order to clarify its meaning and to avoid making a mistake between its genuine and figurative meaning and then he refers to this verse:“If I‟e drunk wine, what God has allowed is unlawful to me.”
Since it‟ been emphasized in several cases in Holy Koran, such as Maedeh Sorah, verses 87, 88, that no one must make something unlawful for himself while God has allowed it, also considered that Nezami was a Moslem poet who acquainted with Islamic Mysticism and was a believer in Koran and Islamic culture. This question arises that what he meant by expressing this issue? In addition, what has been its origin?
This study tries to answer this question and similar questions by researching Koran interpretations, religious jurisprudence and investigating Persian Literature.The research method is descriptive and the conclusion will be analyzed by library and documentary researching techniques. The conclusion shows no contrast between Nezami‟s view and Koran verses.In fact, this idea was a catchphrase used for taking an oath; it has been common among Iranian in the sixth century, and still it used in some western parts of Iran.

This article describes the verb structure in Kohshahry dialect. Kohshahry area includes several villages, which is located in the South East Manūjān city. The region has three dialects Bonaky, Tiyaby and Sargarooye that are slightly different. This article has been investigated verbal arguments and their location stems or verb roots participle and verbal prefixes in the field of verb construction. The study obtained results show that is in transitive arguments and transitive argument are different at this dialect. Then, inflection of pronouns in the field of structural formula is of different verb group (different verb construction the past, present, and future) of passive structure. The causal agent and the source is introduced. In this dialect verb etymology at all times and the pronouns etymology form of the verb at some times and structures may be shared. Passive structure in Kohshahry dialect is different from main language. Hence, various stages of construction and types of passive semantic structure in this dialect in a separate chapter have been and analyzed in the present article.

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. The important difference between the standard dialect and the shirazy one is in the way of using the auxiliary verbs and their conjugations. The attached subjective pronouns in shirazy dialect are pronounced in two ways, “?eš” and “?ešun”. And verb to be is used in three different ways.

The present research deals with the phonetic system in Ghohroodi and Gazi dialects in Isfahan Province. This comparison is considered from phonological point of view. I have used questionnaires, interviews and personal observations for compiling this research. The data of this research have been collected from native speakers. The research methodology is descriptive; moreover, the research is synchronic since the historical changes of the language have not been studied. Regarding the result of this research, I want to refer to some differences and similarities of these two dialects: The number of vowels in both dialects is 8, the vowels / ö/ and /ü/ exist in both dialects, and the number of consonants is 22 in Ghohroodi and 23 in Gazi; the consonant /ţ/ does not exist in Ghohroodi dialect, in both dialects the syllabic structure is CVCC.

The chief concern of this research is to analyze a number of phonological processes such as “ insertion, stopping, and spirantization” in 15 language varieties of Kerman Province such as Baft, Bardsir, Bam, Rabor, Rafsanjan, South Rudbar, Zarand, Sirjan, Shahrebabak, Kerman, Golbaf, Gougher and Meymand, based on generative phonology. Most of the mentioned varieties had written documents such as dictionary, poetical works and proverb. Also a number of articles and theses have been written about most of them, from which the required data for this research has been extracted. Additionally, if it required more data, the researchers have directly interviewed with two men and two women informants. Some of the most important results of this reaserch are mentioned here: 1. Dööeletion of the final glottal consonant /h/, and then, if the next morpheme starts with a vowel, one the glides [j] or [w] should be inserted which this insertion between two vowels depends on the features of the second vowel. 2. In language varieties of Kerman Province glottal stop /?/ is inserted at the beginning of the words which start with a vowel. 3. In a number of Kerman Language Varieties the continuant, uvular and voiced consonant /P/ is replaced with its stop pair [G] in Standard Persian at the end of a word or syllable.

The history of Tabarestan written by baha-Al-din Mohammad-Ibn- Hassan-Ibn-Isfandiar _ known as Ibn-e-Isfandiar from Amol_ is one of the most valid local histories ever written in Iran. In fact, Ibn-e-Isfandiar is the father of the historiography in Mazandaran. The prose of this book, which was edited and published in two volumes by the deceased Abbas Ighbal Ashtiani in 1320, is literary. The fourth chapter of the first volume talks about the biography of scholars, pious people, historians, physicians, astrologers, and poets. Divarehvaz or Mastemard, Barbad Jariri Tabari, Qazi Hajim, and Isfahbod Khorshid Mamatiri are among the poets introduced in this section. These lines of verse were previously translated and explained by Dr. Sadegh Kia in his book, Vajenameh (wordbook) Tabari, published in 1327 by Tehran university publications. Wherever he could not find or was not sure about the meaning of a word or phrase, Dr. Kia used question marks (?) or dotted lines (…). This article is, in fact, the explanation of some of the dotted lines and question marks of Dr. Kia's Tabari Wordbook. Some of the poems of three great Tabari speaking poets of Ibn-e-Isfandiar's Tabarestan History, namely Divarevaz(Mastemard), Qazi Hajim, and Isfahbod Khorshid Mamatiri are explained in this article. This article has been written based on Ibn-e-Isfandiar Tabarestan History and Kia's Tabari Wordbook.

It is tried to introduce and find the ethymology of words, expression and some related phrases to agriculture from planting to cropping in one of the rigions of Mammasani's area (Javid). In order to know the authenticity of the words for researchers from the past of this country, the root of the words is pointed to as much as possible.
