The journal of Research in Western Iranian Languages and Dialects (RWILD) is published quarterly to support research in languages and dialects spoken in western Iranian provinces in particular and theoretical papers related to more general issues in human language. The area covered by RWILD consists of a wide range of languages and dialects such as Kurdish, Hawrami, Lori, Laki, Turkish, and Persian. RWILD wishes to be home for publishing original descriptive and theoretical papers related to these dialects.
