Abstract
Firuzabadi is one of the so called Southwestern Iranian dialects which is spoken by the residents of Firuzabad, a town located southwest of Fars province. This dialect is closely related with other fars dialects and with southern Lori dialects. Historically, Firuzabadi is derived from Middle Persian which itself is derived from Old Persian. The aim of this paper is to study the etymology of some Firuzabadi words. Finally, other equal words in Persian dialects, especially, southwestern ones are located. A comparative study is made with the cognates of the words in Middle and Old Persian as well as other Iranian languages and dialects.
Key words: etymology, Iranian languages, southwestern dialects, Firuzabadi
