How to translate Azerbaijani?

Moreover, the sentences also accommodate active and passive voices too. The linguist must understand the grammatical complexities for a professional Azerbaijani translation.
- Azerbaijani dictionary is based on Turkic words, which are influenced by Arabic due to the Islamic parentage. However, the northern Azerbaijani dialect is influenced by Russian and its loanwords. On the other hand, southern Azerbaijani carries Iranian words. The linguist must identify the target reader to adopt the accurate lexicon for easy understanding.
- An Azerbaijani noun has singular and plural variations. Furthermore, a noun has nominative, dative, accusative, locative, genitive, and ablative case. Suffixes are used to denote the case with no articles. Furthermore, the absence of grammatical gender makes the Azerbaijani language challenging to write.

Eye-opening facts about the Azerbaijani language
- Azerbaijani is a sub-field of the Oghuz branch of the Turkic languages. Turkish and Turkmen belong to the same department. Azerbaijani is also quite similar to Turkish, with an 80% familiarity rate. However, modern Azerbaijani is influenced by Arabic and Russian, with parts identical to Turkish. The language uses Latin script with additional accents to accommodate localized terms.
- The Azerbaijani variations began in the 7th century. Turkic stepped onto the Azerbaijani land before an official invasion in the 11th century. Afterward, Turkic-based Azerbaijani became very common. Later on, Russian and Iranian attacks resulted in the Treaty of Turkemenchay. The empire was comprised partially of Azerbaijani land, thus, contributing to the linguistic evolution.
- The Azerbaijani language used the Arabic alphabet in 1929. However, the northern half shifted to a Cyrillic script before returning to the Latin characters in 1992. Today, Latin and Cyrillic Azerbaijani are used, depending on the generation. However, an elder Azerbaijani prefers to use Cyrillic. On the other hand, southern Azerbaijan uses the Arabic alphabet.
- The modern-day Azerbaijani is very complicated because of geographic dissimilarities. The Caucasus Mountain uses the Caucasus dialect. Moreover, Russian is commonly spoken as faux Azerbaijani due to the Russians ruling Azerbaijan for almost two centuries.
- The Azerbaijani language is at least 1300 years old, with the literary proofs dating back to the 13th century. The language flourished significantly during the 15th to 19th century, with dominant poetry use.
