Iron (dialect)

Iron (dialect)

Iron (Ossetic: Ирон, "Iron" or Ирон ӕвзаг, "Iron ævzag") is one of the two main dialects of the Ossetic language Thordarson, Fridrik. 1989. Ossetic. Compendium Linguarum Iranicarum, ed. by Rudiger Schmitt, 456-79. Wiesbaden: Reichert. [http://www.azargoshnasp.net/languages/ossetian/ossetian.htm] ] . The majority of the Ossetians speak Iron, notably in the East, South and Central parts of North Ossetia-Alania, while in the West the Digor dialect is much more prevalent. This dominance can be shown in the fact that written Ossetic is almost exclusively in the Iron dialect.
