Abstract
Language represents the main aspect of culture and wisdom. Specialized or technical language is a form of language that is used by specialists and technicians. Technical Persian language is severed from people's language and highly affected by other languages in recent years. This paper demonstrates about 120 specialized terms that was found through participatory research among herders of eastern Alborz. These terms consist of words about: environment, rangeland, animal grazing, pastoral related places and buildings, and traditional rangeland and herd utilization systems. A Collection of these terms represents the way pastoralists categorize objects and Phenomena. For the reason that such a collection exists among the Iranian subcultures, passive research approach should be replaced by active approach.
