Eastern dialect of Ossetian From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Iron Ossetian (Ossetian: ирон ӕвзаг, romanized: iron ӕvzag pronounced [iˈron ɐvˈzäɡ]) also known as Iron Ossetic or Iron-Ossetic, is one of the two main dialects of the Ossetic language along with Digor[2] spoken in the Caucasus. The majority of Ossetians speak Iron, notably in the East, South and Central parts of North Ossetia–Alania, while in the West the Digor dialect is more prevalent. The Iron dialect has been the basis of the Ossetian written language since the abolition of the Digor standard in 1939.[2]
