Facts about Iranian Persian[edit | edit source]

  • Language code (ISO 639-3): pes
  • Autonyms (how to write "Iranian Persian" in Iranian Persian): فارسی
  • Other names for "Iranian Persian": Persian, Western Farsi, Ajamic, New Persian, Parsi, West Persian
  • The Iranian Persian language is spoken in: Iran

Persian, also called Farsi, is part of the Indo-European language family, carrying one of the richest literatures. Since ancient times, it has benefited from the rarest linguistic continuity. The language of poetry written 1200 years ago remains almost identical to that used by Persian speakers today. Persian is spoken by around 120 million people around the world, mainly in Iran but also in parts of Asia Minor and Central Asia.


It is a pluricentric language predominantly spoken and used officially within Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan in three mutually intelligible standard varieties, namely Iranian Persian (officially known as Farsi), Afghan Persian (officially known as Dari since 1964) and Tajik Persian (officially known as Tajik since 1999).


It is also spoken natively in the Tajik variety by a significant population within Uzbekistan, as well as within other regions with a Persianate history in the cultural sphere of Greater Iran.


It is written officially within Iran and Afghanistan in the Persian alphabet, a derivation of the Arabic script, and within Tajikistan in the Tajik alphabet, a derivation of the Cyrillic script.
