The municipality of Takestan (80,299 inhabitants in 2016) is located in
north-western Iran. The Takestani dialect, spoken in Takestan, is a branch of
the Tati language, one of the most traditional Northwestern Iranian languages in
the Indo-European languages family. Tati has been categorized by UNESCO’s “Atlas
of the World’s Languages in Danger” project as a “definitely endangered
language.” Tati and Persian are in the same language family called “Western
Iranian” languages.

The bunch of grapes makes the emblem
canting. “Takestan” literally and figuratively means "Vineyard". Takestan with
35000 hectares of vineyards in Iran is the second largest city in grapes
producing. In September 1938 the city's name “Syadn" formally changed to
Takestan by the Academy of language and Culture of Iran. 70% of the grapes
become raisins and sultanas that is exported to Russia, Ukraine and other
Central Asian countries and Europe, in addition to domestic consumption.
