The present study investigates vowel shortening process in Persian and Central Kurdish languages based on optimization theory. As the same phonological processes approximately occur in co-type languages, in the present of long vowels in Persian and Kurdish, it is expected that vowel shortening process occur in these languages. In the present study, Phonological analysis of data showed that vowel shortening occurs in high and low vowels in both Persian and Kurdish. In Persian, three long vowels /i, u, ɑ/ and in Kurdish, two long vowels /i, ɑ/ undergo vowel shortening process. Depending on the phonetic context, in the both languages the vowel /ɑ/ can only be reduced to two short vowels /e/ and /æ/ in Persian and two short vowels /ə/ and /æ/ in Kurdish. In Persian the number and variety of context in which long vowels are shortened is more than Kurdish is. Optimality analysis showed that the type and ranking of faithfulness constraints and markedness constraints on shortening of long vowels /ɑ/ and /i/ are the same in different phonological contexts of Persian and Kurdish.
