Azerbaijani phrasebook
Azerbaijani or Azeri (Azərbaycan dili, آذربایجان دیلي) is the primary and official language of Azerbaijan. It is also the primary language in northwestern Iran, and is also spoken to a small extent in southern Dagestan (Russia), the Kvemo Kartli region of Georgia, eastern Turkey, in Shia cities of Iraq, like Karbala and Kirkuk. It is a Turkic language and is to an extent mutually intelligible with modern Turkish although a fair amount of vocabulary has been added from Russian, Arab or Persian influence in Azerbaijan and Iran respectively.
Pronunciation guideThe Perso-Arabic script was used among all Azerbaijani speakers until 1922, when the Latin alphabet was adopted (slightly different from the current one in use).
