The first Zaza-English dictionary!  And indispensable resource for English speakers seeking to learn and preserve the Zaza language.

Zaza, also known as Zazaki, is a Northwest Iranian language spoken primarily in eastern Turkey by the Zaza people. The language is closely related to Kurdish. There is an extensive diaspora, especially in Europe, and there are an estimated 2 to 3 million speakers worldwide. Zaza is considered an endangered language as the number of speakers has been declining, but there are now efforts to preserve and revitalize it.

This unique two-part resource uses the official Zaza alphabet and provides users with tools for daily interactions. The bilingual dictionary focuses on concise vocabulary for everyday use, and the phrasebook allows instant communication on a variety of topics. Ideal for businesspeople, travelers, students, and aid workers, this guide includes:

• Over 8,500 dictionary entries

• Essential phrases on subjects such as travel, dining, hotels, healthcare, time, dates, money, communication services, and much more

• Concise grammar and pronunciation sections 

• A guide to the Zaza alphabet
