Read More It seems that ‘Iranians and History of Phonetics’ written by Seyyed Mehdi Samaei is the only book whose primary purpose is to give a short history of Iranian scientists’ phonetic studies and to introduce their achievements. Phonetic studies from the sixth BC to the fifteenth century AD in Greek, Rome, India, and Islamic states are the topics covered in this book. In this article, an attempt has been made to introduce and review the mentioned work in detail. After introducing the chapters and sections of this book, the formal aspects have been discussed; issues such as the author's style, references, bibliographic information, and phonetic transcription. In the detailed content analysis and criticism of this work, each chapter has been discussed separately according to its subject and purpose. it is concluded that this work should be considered just as some references to the history of linguistics sources and a collection and summary of some old sources in the field of phonetic studies in Islamic states, which critically need to be described and elaborated in current linguistic terms.Keywords: Phonetics, Phonology, Persian, Linguistics History, Samaei.It seems that ‘Iranians and History of Phonetics’ written by Seyyed Mehdi Samaei is the only book whose primary purpose is to give a short history of Iranian scientists’ phonetic studies and to introduce their achievements.

Read More Iran and Ottaman history have always had a lot in common regarding history, culture, and religion. Being neighbor and vast common borders, having same religions, having a lot in common regarding language, literature , and Art caused the two nations have mutual effects in each other’s history.Ottoman Turkish with a lot of derivations (borrowings) from Persian and Arabic words is classified as one of the Islamic languages which had been the official language of Ottoman emperor at the old times. Considering the historiography, during the long period of having relationship with Iran, the Ottoman historians have written about Iran issues and events briefly or in detail, due to the fact that the two countries are neighbors, have similar language and interim developments. To historians such works are of value and worth consideration. In Qajar era, especially at the time of Nasser al-Din Shah (during Nasser al-Din Shah Reign) some of these works have been translated into Persian, among them are such works as Hamidi Hitory translated by Ali Gholi Khan, Biography of Sultan Abdul Hamid and the situation of the Ottoman Empire during his reign, translated by Mohammad Hassan Khan Etemad ol-Saltaneh. Ever since the tradition of translating Ottaman history texts didn’t blossom, and was neglected.Because of such background and the fact that researches about Ottoman basically lack a rich literature, it is necessary to recognize the well known works and main and authentic sources in historiography of Ottoman, and particularly historiography of Iran and Ottoman relations, and translate them into Persian. In that case all the needed materials for deep bilateral research will be provided.This study, aims at introducing literature in the field of translating history texts from Ottoman to Persian in the last two decades, and the selected works and sources with a glance at the reasons. At the end some suggestions and strategies for reaching this goal is presented.
