Classification Problems of the Azerbaijani Dialects

Abstract

The article investigates the classification of Azerbaijani dialects. It shows that the study of the Azerbaijani dialects began in the 19th century. However, this work has become more widespread since the beginning of the 20th century. The prominent commentator of the classification, founded by F. Kocharli, B. Chobanzadeh, gave an outstanding speech by M. Shiraliyev. For the first time, he has grouped dialects and accents of the Azerbaijani with phonetic, morphological, lexical, and syntactic features, according to historical and geographical principles. The Shiraliyev’s classification has been widely used in Azerbaijani linguistics for many years. Further development of the field of dialectology and extensive dialectological researches made it necessary to revise M. Shiraliyev's classification. After the 1980s, this issue became more relevant, and linguists like G. Dorfer, E. Azizov, B.Rasuloglu, L. Johanson, J. Heyet, and M. Mammadli conducted classification of the living Azerbaijani dialects in the North and the South have made valuable comments. Studies show that Azerbaijani dialects can be grouped into three main groups by their common characteristics: the North-east dialect; western dialect; southern dialect. These groups also include the voices of Azerbaijanis living outside of the Republic of Azerbaijan - Iran, Iraq, and Georgia. In addition, there are transitional and mixed accents in which some features of the two dialects show themselves.
