Abstract

Dialectal versified dictionaries, as an example of didactic poetry, in recent centuries, are compiled with the aim of helping to protect dialectal words.Among the old dialect dictionaries, we can mention "Nesab-e Jame-al-Laghat" (10th AH), "Nesab-e Sabuhi" and "Nesab-e Tabari" (13th AH), most of these examples are based on the model of "Nesab al-Sabiyan" Abu Nasr Farahi (7th AH) were compiled. In Iran, due to ethnic and racial diversity, we are faced with a wide range of local languages and dialects. Since a long time, one of the effective ways to protect their prosperity in the young generation has been using the language of poetry in order to simplify the process of memorizing dialect words. Despite this, for many languages and dialects of our country, we do not have a systematic dictionary in the form of versified glossory "Nesab". The present article aims to present examples poetic dialect glossories and point out their structural features so that it may be an incentive to revive this poetic tradition as one of the approaches of lexicography in the contemporary period.
