Affixes in Hazaragi Persian

This paper aims at introducing affixes in Hazaragi, a variety of Persian spoken by the Hazaras (an ethnic group) mostly living in Afghanistan. It categorizes Hazaragi affixes into inflectional and derivational. Then, it generalizes that, in Hazaragi, affixes are only of two types: prefixes and suffixes. This study finds out that there are fourteen prefixes and forty-eight suffixes in Hazaragi. The prefixes are mostly shared with Persian, whereas of the suffixes, twenty-three of them are shared with Persian. Of course, Persian affixes are not at issue here. The approach used in carrying out this paper is descriptive analytic where Hazaragi affixes are described in the respective dialect, and the conclusion is drawn.
