Azerbaijanis are famous
for their hospitality and are very spontaneous about inviting
guests to their homes - even individuals they've met for the first time.
In this installment of "Sociolinguistically Speaking,"
we take a look at the patterns that Azerbaijanis follow in terms

Speaking - 7", "Just a Cup of Tea", found at AZERI.org,
our Web site that is devoted to the Azeri language.
