Abstract	:	This study examines the state of the maintenance of Persian language among Iranians in the United States. This study is important for two reasons. First, this study is the first in its kind to examine the data from secondary sources such as U.S. Census data, Homeland Security, and the American Community Survey to shed some light on the state of language maintenance or shift among the members of the Iranian community residing in the U.S. Second, considering the number of Persian speakers in the U.S. and the lack of considerable amount of research on this community, this study is of importance and of high contribution to the field.
