The Problem of National Identity of Azeri Turks in Iran from a Linguistic Perspective and Its Solutions in a Sociological Perspective
Journal Title: Ancient Land - Year 2025, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
The number of Azerbaijanis who are living in Iran is significant, both in official and unofficial calculations. The state language in Iran is Persian. However, the chances of the Azeri people developing their language, culture, and history are very limited. This situation creates a foundation for the gradual loss of a people's national identity. A nation’s first step toward self-improvement and global integration is its language. The most striking example of this is accepted worldwide as being in the Azeri language. However, if we introduce them in Persian, they will lose their originality and impact. From a sociological perspective, it is natural for a suppressed people to react to these adversities. The most important factor is that people should not forget themselves and should be able to protect themselves from manipulation in political, social, and socio-bilingual environments. The research utilizes theories from Western sociologists. Such cases are not unique to Iran today; they are observed in many places. Language is an independent concept. Every free and social society must respect all languages and the cultures they bring. This article analyses the problems faced by the Azeri people, the solutions of these problems, and future steps for the language.
