Abstract
The same way jargon is used, many salespeople have been using argot to secretly talk to each other in the presence of their customers. Specifically, in Tehran the clothing merchants use a secret form of argot known as the Benavi language. This language is mainly the result of the semantics and sound changes in the Jewish language which is spoken by Jews who live in Tehran. Most of the words in the Benavi language are the grammatical adoption of nouns and adjectives, and a few of them are conjugates of the verbs. Numbers in the Benavi language are also borrowed from the Jewish language; some of them are very similar and some are an alteration of the original form, while the numeral and counting systems are innovative and different from the Jewish language.
