The deilami language ( _fa. البرزي، ديلمي) is local regional dialect of the Persian language, and a member of northwestern Iranian language branch, spoken in Iran's Gīlān , mazandaran , ghazvin Province. Within the deilami dialect, there at least three localized sub-dialects: Galeshi and roudbari and jirandehi and alamouti and khorgami and deilamani and .... The deilami dialect of the Persian is closely related to the tabari dialect of neighboring tabari Province, and the two languages have similar vocabularies. The western and eastern dialects are separated by the Sefid River (Rud-e Sefid) [ [http://www.eva.mpg.de/lingua/files/NWIran.html Stilo, Don "A Description of the Northwest Iranian Project at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology"] ] . According to Ethnologue, there were more than 3-4 million native speakers of deilami in 1993 [ [http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=dlm "deilami: A language of Iran" Ethnologue] ] .

deilami also shares many features and structures with Zazaki, now spoken in Turkey and the Talysh language. There are somegrammatical differences between Gilaki and standard Persian, especially in possessive and adjectives. Unlike Persian, most possessives and adjectives precede the head noun, similar to English. [ [http://www.iranica.com/articles/v10f6/v10f633i.html "Languages" "Encyclopaedia Iranica"] ]

ome deilami words

Present subjunctive

The present subjunctive is formed with the prefix "bí-", "bú-", or "bə-" (depending on the vowel in the stem) added to the indicative forms. Final /e/ neutralizes to /ə/ in the 3rd singular and the plural invariably lacks final /i/.

Pluperfect

The pluperfect is paraphrastically formed with the verb "bon", "to be", and the past participle, which is in turn formed with the perfect stem+ə (which can assimilate to become "i" or "u"). The accent can fall on the last syllable of the participle or on the stem itself:

Past progressive

The 3rd person (demonstrative) pronouns are regular: /un/, /u.ˈʃan/, /i.ˈʃan/

Postpositions

With the genitive can be combined many postpositions. Examples:

The personal pronouns have special forms with "-re": mere, tere, etc.

Adjectives

Gilaki adjectives come before the noun they modify, and may have the genitive "case ending" "-ə/-i". They do not agree with the nouns they modify.
