Info

Azerbaijani, Azeri or Azərbaycanca is a natural language which was developed in the Transcaucasia region of Eurasia.


It is an Oghuz Turkic language (639-5: trk) and is believed to originally have originated from some form of the Tatar language . Its closest living neighbors are Turkish and Gagauz . It is also related to other Oghuz and Turkic languages, most notably Turkmen , Uzbek , Kazakh , and Kyrgyz


It shares high mutual intelligibility with Turkish, which leads many to believe it is a dialect, though, the Grammar and phonetics of Azerbaijani are unique and different from Turkish.


It is notable for its usage of the schwa (ə) character, a representation of the phoneme /æ/. This sound is either unwritten or represented as ä in other Turkic languages. There are two main dialects, Northern, and Southern, with the Northern variant being spoken mostly in the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the southern variant being spoken in Northern Iran

بوتون اینسانلار لیاقت وه هوقوقلارینا گؤره آزاد وه برابر دوغولورلار. اونلارین شوورلاری وه ویجدانلاری وار وه بیر-بیرلرینه موناسیبتده قارداشلیق روهوندا داورانمالیدیرلار

The Lord's Prayer (Latin)

"Ey göylərdə olan Atamız, İsmin müqəddəs tutulsun. Padşahlığın gəlsin. Göydə olduğu kimi, Yerdə də Sənin iradən olsun. Gündəlik çörəyimizi bizə bu gün ver; Və bizə borclu olanları bağışladığımız kimi, Bizim borclarımızı da bizə bağışla; Və bizi imtahana çəkmə, Fəqət bizi hiyləgərdən xilas et. Çünki padşahlıq, qüdrət və izzət Əbədi olaraq Sənindir."
