Dialects are a significant aspect of cultural identity and serve as a vital representation of a country's social structure. Analyzing dialects from a linguistic and research-focused perspective not only aids in the preservation of this invaluable heritage but also enhances our understanding of forgotten archaic words and facilitates their revitalization, thereby strengthening the vocabulary system of the Persian language. The aim of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of the ending /-ok/ within the Yazdi vocabulary and to examine and analyze this ending. This ending, when attached to various lexical elements, generates a diverse array of meanings. Although its productivity has diminished in contemporary usage due to the influence of the standard variety, it continues to be employed by Yazdi speakers. The meanings imparted by the word /-ok/ to the base elements include diminutiveness, derision, familiarity, abundance, analogy, description, and identification. In the present research, we have endeavored to understand the structure and role of this word-forming element within the Yazdi dialect, relying on various types of spoken, oral, and written texts. This included the observation and recording of the speech of native speakers from the region as well as the collection of relevant data from sources such as dictionaries, academies, and examples of spoken discourse
