Resumé: La culture et la diversité linguistique est l'une des caractéristiques fondamentales des sociétés humaines. Cette diversité englobe d'une part la préservation et la propagation de la culture existante et d'autre part elle est contre l'acceptation des autres cultures. Aujourd'hui nous sommes confrontés à la mondialisation et nous devons faire attention aux problèmes de changements et développements culturels et linguistiques. Dans un environnement de mondialisation, les différentes cultures peuvent mieux se développer avec l'interaction, la communication, l'impact positif et le regret mutuel entre elles. Il y a des cas frappangts de la bonne culture et la langue maternelle qui ont le droit à l'éducation et l'accès aux médias pour la préservation de langue et de la culture du patrimoine humain. C'est évident en Iran, un pays de longue histoire, de diversité multi-ethnique, linguistique et religieuse.. Aujourd'hui dans une atmosphère de mondialisation; tous les problèmes sont en évolution. Les pays démocratiques peuvent offrir des zones vagues pour la survie et le développement culturel, mais en Iran la langue persane est la seule langue officielle et les autres groupes ethniques sont privés de respect. Le manque d'attention aux cultures et aux langues non persanes dans les provinces frontalières iraniennes avec la plupart des pays voisins et la tendance croissante de la population de choisir les médias transfrontaliers et étrangers de ces pays qui utilisent la même langue que ces groupes d'iraniens a fait des défis culturels et linguistiques en Iran. Cet article est le résultat d'une recherche en matière de diversité ethnique, culturelle et linguistique et des enjeux et défis qui en découlent.
