Abstract :

One of the most important issues in the use of plants in medicine and nutrition, in addition to knowing the scientific names, their native and local names are also of special importance so that researchers can easily access the indigenous knowledge of different ethnic groups. Therefore, it is important to know local names as part of social linguistic data. This type of study is a type of linguistic study that is known as a cultural subject that is closely related to social relations. It is a community that speaks that language. One of the important factors in local dialects is the names of plants including grasses, trees and shrubs. Different provinces of Iran have different subcultures as well as a variety of different dialects and dialects that sometimes have a common origin and in some cases are directly related to each other. In this study, we tried to record the local names of plants by referring to reliable sources. After reviewing more than 1500 local names in different parts of the country for plants were collected. In this article, 246 local names for trees in different provinces, which are mainly names used in different dialects, are presented.
