Abstract

The land of Iran boasts a rich historical, cultural, and linguistic heritage. This journal, Research in Western Iranian Languages and Dialects, is dedicated to the documentation, analysis and, ultimately, recognition of the languages of Iran, with a dual focus on the languages of western Iran, and languages in the Western division of the Iranian language family in particular.
     In this first English issue, the broad mandate of the journal is in evidence through a series of articles which are geographically and typologically expansive in their coverage. The languages featured here trace a path from the northernmost province of West Azarbayjan, through Kordestan, Kermanshah, Lorestan, Khuzestan, and beyond. The theme of this issue builds on the increasingly robust body of linguistic description and analysis of Kurdish (Gündoğdu et al., 2019; Haig & Öpengin, 2022; Sheyholislami et al., 2025), but the contributions also embrace other languages related to Kurdish.
