	Vafsi Folk Tales
		Because of the complexity of Vafsi grammar and since he was not familiar with the language, I assume Elwell-Sutton never felt the tales were completely intelligible or that they were transcribed accurately enough to be publishable.
		Vafsi belongs to the Tatic subgroup and is spoken in four villages in west central Iran, located between Hamadan, Saveh, and Arak, almost equidistant from these three cities.
		While there are still some problem points in the Vafsi narrations that even a native speaker could not figure out, the transcriptions and translations are now ready to go to press and the finalized volume will be published with the compact disc of the audio recordings of the texts to accompany the volume.

	Vafsi Folk Tales . Wiesbaden, Ludwig Reichert Verlag, 2004, 288 p., biblio., no index.
		Vafsi refers to the language of people of four villages in west central Iran: Vafs, Chehreqân, Gurchân and Fark in Markazi province, and is regarded as a north-western Iranian language.
		Actually, it is believed that Vafsi is a mixture of Tati and the Iranian central dialects, and due to the special geographic situation of Vafs, it has kept many of its basic historical characteristics.
		Vafsi Folk Tales is a collection of 24 stories, which were collected by the British Iranist, L. P. Elwell-Sutton in 1958, and have been transcribed, translated and annotated by Donald Stilo.
