Azerbaijani (Medicine)
Azerbaijani (pronunciation: /ˌæzərbaɪˈdʒɑːni/; Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan) is a language spoken primarily by the Azerbaijani people, who are concentrated mainly in the Republic of Azerbaijan and Iranian Azerbaijan. In the context of medicine, Azerbaijani has a rich vocabulary of medical terms, many of which have been borrowed from Arabic, Persian, and Turkish, as well as from Russian and English in more recent times.
Etymology
The term "Azerbaijani" is derived from the name of the region of Azerbaijan, which itself is derived from the Persian Āzar (fire) and baijan (guardian/protector), thus meaning "guardian of fire". This is likely a reference to the Zoroastrian fire temples that were historically prevalent in the region.
