Talk:Languages of Iran

message: There seem to be a number of sources for ethnicity in Iran, each giving different figures. There are apparently very few sources for languages spoken. I suggest people who have been following this debate list the sources here in the talk page for both language and ethnicity. Given the few sources available on language (perhaps only one), it would be helpful for the article to list this, but also the information on ethnicity, which has more sources. If no reliable sources can be found, then we can't really dedicate an article to this, but if information relating to this is available, we can write an article about something.

replies: text: No, not usually.  They know quite a few Arabic words and expressions due to religious studies and loans into Persian, but they can't hold a conversation in Arabic. Of course this doesn't include the parts of Iran where Arabic is a common language. Astarabadi (talk) 11:30, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

A sample letter to ethnologue about how they arrived at their Azeri population and the response of its editor: Dear Mazdak, 
Sorry we cannot help you further with this question. This information was posted by a previous editor, and it probably came from his personal communication with someone else, and was therefore not documented. Regards, Conrad Hurd accessed March 21, 2007
This material, if it is encyclopedic at all, belongs in the Ethnologue article, not here. Andrewa (talk) 11:20, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

message: 1. Hormozgan and Bushehr provinces have an absolute majority of Persian speakers. Bandar Abbas and other districts as well as Bushehr and the related communes are colored in pink, this is absolutely incorrect!
Also, Khuzestan province (where Ahvaz is the center) should be indicated in stripe colors indicating Lori, Arabic and Persian mix since most of the areas are populated by speakers of these three languages. Niarad (talk) 15:07, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Turkmen and Qashqai languages were written two times where the languages are listed in the current version. Could it be corrected? Because I am not sure perhaps it's to be specified somehow in the future.--A.Khamidullin (talk) 12:12, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
