Abstract
A unique role of the language in the history of mankind is an undeniable truth. From this perspective, the history of languages is of great interest for scientists. Of course, the Persian language is no exception in this regard. It was one of the three main languages (Turkish, Arabic and Persian) of the Middle and Far East during the middle Ages, still those were non-Persian, particularly the Azerbaijani poets, writers and lexicographers who had contributed to the development of this language. It is no coincidence that the beginnings of Persian lexicography took shape in the work “تفاسیر” (“Tefasir”) of the great Azerbaijani scholar and poet Qatran Tabrizi in the beginning of the eleventh century. This article explores the works by the famous statesmen and Azerbaijani scholars Hindushah Nakhchivani and his son Mahammad ibn Hindusah Nakhchivani in the field of the Persian language of that time and scientifically substantiates their role in the formation and development of the lexicography of this language.
