We are a team of linguists comprising faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and language consultants working on various languages of the Iranian language family. We were first established in 2015 and have since continued to obtain federal-level grants to continue working on Iranian languages, with our work spanning various topics across linguistics like theoretical syntax, morphology, semantics, phonetics, phonology, prosody, natural language processing, and more. Here, you will find information about the languages we have worked on, up to date news, publications, ongoing projects, as well as an overview of our team members.
