Braanz: Towards a multilingual Iran! Today, we are launching a new initiative, Braanz, a plaform for the Baluch community in Iran. Braanz means “ rays of the sun” in Baluchi, and the platform is designed to shine a light on the Baluch people in Iran, promote greater understanding of their culture and lives, and help the community use their language and promote the benefits of multilingualism in Iran. This platform is a community initiative providing the Baluchi community a place to use their language and explain to Iranian society and the world who they are. We hope that it becomes a forum that helps strengthen the use of Baluchi in Iran and help contribute towards creating a truly diverse, multilingual society.
