About Dr. Yavar Dehghani

Yavar is a self-published author, linguist, and translator specializing in Iranian languages—including Persian (Farsi ), Dari, Hazaragi—as well as Turkic languages such as Azeri and Turkish. He earned his PhD in General Linguistics from La Trobe University in Melbourne, with a dissertation focused on the comparative grammars of Persian, Azeri, Turkish, and English.

Academic Experience

Over the years, He has lectured in Persian linguistics, taught Persian as a second language, and provided instruction in English as a second language. His teaching approach is deeply informed by comparative grammar, which he has integrated into second language instruction to foster deeper cross-linguistic understanding.

Publications

His publications include several grammar books, phrasebooks, dictionaries, and general language-related works, along with academic papers exploring second language acquisition. I have also served as a book reviewer for leading publishers such as Routledge (UK).
