- 1亞塞拜然的（形容詞）／亞塞拜然人／亞塞拜然語。語言屬突厥語族，跟土耳其語很接近。另有簡稱 Azeri（阿塞里）：Azerbaijani 偏「這個國家的、國民」，Azeri 偏「這個民族、這個語言」，正式書寫用 Azerbaijani 較保險。
The word that goes with the country , and it does three jobs. As a noun for a person: an Azerbaijani is someone from , or a member of the Azerbaijani people (many of whom live in northern Iran, not in the country at all). As a noun for a language: Azerbaijani is a Turkic language, a close relative of Turkish. As an adjective: Azerbaijani food, an Azerbaijani passport, the Azerbaijani team.
You will also meet the shorter form Azeri. Most of the time the two are , but they are not perfectly equal: Azerbaijani leans towards 'of the country, a citizen', while Azeri leans towards 'of the ethnic group and its language'. Some speakers care about that difference a great deal, especially when talking about Azerbaijanis in Iran, so if you are unsure, Azerbaijani is the safer choice in writing.
One more worth knowing: the language has been written in three different alphabets within living memory — Arabic script, then under Soviet rule, then Latin letters after 1991. Older books in the language can look completely unlike newer ones.
Plural of the person-noun is Azerbaijanis. Always capitalised.
組成Azerbaijan + -i. The ending -i is a very productive way of making 'a person or thing belonging to that place', and English took the habit along with the words themselves — it comes into English through Persian, Arabic, Urdu and Hindi rather than from Latin or Greek like most of our suffixes.
