Description: This is a reprint of my dissertation at the University of Cologne, Germany, from 1984, when I studied linguistics, phonetics and oriental sciences considering German, English, Turkish, Arabic and Persian. The dissertation is about the phonology of Persian, or Farsi, and was written in German. It was published as a book and, per university requirement, 40 copies were sent to major Western university libraries. I kept a dozen of copies for myself but soon they were all given out to colleagues and friends. This is why I decided to reprint and make it available for free after more than 30 years. On this publication, I have used my full first name, Abbasali, although later I started to use my shorter name Abbas - Abbas Djavadi.

Thinking back on my 16 years of academics, I feel deep gratitude and appreciation to my esteemed teachers, including:

Prof. Georg Heike, Prof. Marga Reis, Prof. Abdoljavad Falaturi, Prof. Heiz Vater (Cologne, Germany), and Prof. Faruk Sumer, Prof. Halil Inalcik and Prof. Ilber Ortayli (Ankara and Istanbul, Turkey).
