Iron (Ossetic: Ирон Iron or Ирон æвзаг Iron ævzag) is one of the two main dialects of the Ossetic language spoken in the Caucasus. The majority of the Ossetians speak Iron notably in the East South and Central parts of North Ossetia–Alania while in the West the Digor dialect is more prevalent. The Iron dialect has been the basis of the Ossetian written language since the abolition of the Digor standard in 1939.
