Old Azeri language Old Azeri, also known as Azeri or Azari (Persian: آذری‎ ‎ "Āḏarī" ] ), is the extinct Iranian language that was once spoken in Azerbaijan (historic Azerbaijan, also known as "Iranian Azerbaijan"), and in what constitutes the present-day Republic of Azerbaijan (historically known as Arran and Shirvan). Some linguists believe the southern Tati varieties of Iranian Azerbaijan such as those around Takestan such as the Harzandi and Karingani dialects to be remnants of Azeri. In addition, Old Azeri is known to have strong affinities with Talysh.
