Noun

همزبان • (hamzabân)

1. speaker of the same language
   • c. 1260s, Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Rūmī, translated by Reynold A. Nicholson, مثنوی معنوی [Masnavi-ye-Ma'navi], volume I, verse 28:

     هر که او از هم زبانی شد جدا
     بی‌‌زبان شد گر چه دارد صد نوا

     har ki ō az ham zabanē šud judā
     bē zabān šud gar či dārad sad nawā

     Whoever is parted from one who speaks his language becomes dumb, though he have a hundred songs.
