Abstract

           Neishabori dialect is considered as one of the oldest eastern dialects of Iran, which has special coordinates in terms of phonetic and grammatical features. In this essay, in the descriptive-analytical way and the method of document analysis and data mining, based on library studies and using the author's pseudo-language, as an Neishaborian informant, main phonetic processes are investigated, types of phonemes of this dialect are described and explained, and we have categorized and divided each phoneme by using its distinctive feature. In the following, the subject of suffixes and prefixes,  has been examined as well as the conjugation of verbs and their tenses. The research results show that the phonemes of Nishaburi dialect include 33 phonemes; Hamzeh is hardly heard at the beginning of words in Nishaburi dialect, some phonemes such as "A" and "H" are pronounced clearly and thickly in Arabic words. Both phonemes "gh" and "q" are present in the language at the same time. Unlike standard Persian, some syllables start with a consonant without a vowel. In the Nishaburi dialect, there are changes in vowels, some of which are completely irregular and others are regular. Elision, metathesis, fusion, displacement, difference in pronunciation of some verbs such as past continuous and past participle, special usages of affixes are some of the features that causes the difference between Nishabori dialect and standard Persian. Also, according to this dialect, some lexical etymologies can be completed and revised.
