Here you can hear a Yaghnobi New Year’s song “Náwa Sṓl nubṓrak vṓt!” (Let’s Celebrate the New Year!, Tajik Соли нав муборак бошад!), the original version in Yaghnobi version of Cyrillic alphabet and latin transcription can be seen here (Originally the song is published in a book of Sayfiddin Mirzozoda: Dasturi zaboni yaɣnobī, Dušanbe 2008, p.219). The Song is sung in an transitional dialect of Yaghnobi (it can be a dialect of villages Sōkan and Qūl). Please note that in Yaghnob New Year begins on March 12th on the Sunny side (Офтобрӯй) and on March 18th in the Shady side (Соярӯй), traditionally New Year (Наврӯз) starts on March 21st in Tajikistan.

Aspects of Yaghnobi Grammar – Thesis Finished!

Bahrom — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 05:10:46 +0000

In December of last year I submitted my thesis on Yaghnobi grammar to the graduate school of the University of Oregon. After serveral rounds of review and revision, the thesis was accepted. Printed copies are available in the U of O Knight Library and the Linguistics departmentLibrary. I have also uploaded a down-loadable copy to this blog. Many thanks for all the critique, suggestions, and comments. I have incorporated all of your feedback in one way or another to make this a much better description of Yaghnobi grammar.

Right up to the last day before I submitted this thesis, I wanted to keep revising it. Clearly this is not the final word on Yaghnobi grammar and I hope that I will have the opportunity to continue revising and adding to this project. I also hope that this thesis will be helpful to other linguists and will be an aid in the preservation and revitalization of the Yaghnobi language.
