		Languages like Dari are transitioning from a state of language maintenance, in which a language is being sustained in the face of pressure from a dominant culture, to language death, a state in which the language is no longer spoken.

	THE IRANIAN: Documenting Dari, Maziar Toosarvandani and Annahita Farudi
		In spite of the statistics predicting the demise of the Dari language, we believe that Dari's future is not hopeless, especially when we consider that language is intimately related to the culture and society of its speakers.
		The Dari speakers we encountered were not only highly conscious of their language's diversity and variation but they also seemed to derive the utmost enjoyment from presenting this diversity to us in the form of words and turns-of-phrase especially different from their own speech.
		While it would be preposterous to suggest that Dari is not highly threatened today, showing as it does all the typical signs of imminent death, the beauty of language, like culture, is that it is a dynamic, living system, as capable of progressing in one direction as it is in another, given the appropriate stimuli.

	THE IRANIAN: Dari language, Annahita Farudi & Maziar Toosarvandani
		Specifically, we are interested in the Gabri language (referred to as Dari by native speakers) of the Zoroastrian community of Yazd.
		However, that number will likely decrease rapidly in coming generations, as personal and anecdotal evidence suggests that parents are speaking to their children in Standard Farsi rather than Dari, thereby halting children's first-language acquisition of the latter and impeding its transmission from generation to generation.

		The Dari language spoken by the Zarathushties of Yazd and Kerman has nothing in common with the Dari of Afghanistan.
		In fact the Zarathushti Dari is not understood by Farsi speaking people and is a language that has no script and has not been written.
		The Zarathushties of Kerman born after 1940's do not speak Dari, because their parents, who thought that by speaking Dari their children would develop a Farsi accent unique to Dari speakers and thus be recognized as Zarathushti in school and thus be harassed by the Muslims, did not teach them Dari.
