Representatives of every nation living in Azerbaijan - national minorities and ethnic groups - live in conditions of mutual understanding and respect. This article examines the complex dynamics of minority languages and their preservation. With globalisation and modernisation posing severe threats to linguistic diversity, understanding and protecting minority languages is crucial.

The study emphasises the effectiveness of various conservation strategies and discusses their implementation goals. The results show that the measures taken to revitalise and preserve minority languages in Azerbaijan are successful, and continuous efforts are made to prevent threats to the language.
