The Taleshi language is a member of the Northwest Iranian languages, primarily spoken in the Talesh region of northern Iran and parts of Azerbaijan. It is considered a minority language, with a small number of speakers who often also use Persian in daily life. Taleshi has its own unique phonetic and grammatical features, distinguishing it from other Iranian languages. The language is part of the rich cultural heritage of the Talesh people, who have a distinct identity and traditions. Efforts are being made to preserve and promote the language amid the dominance of larger languages in the region.
