Farsi VS Arabic Languages
Persian is written with the letters of the Arabic alphabet and from right to left like Arabic, but the language remains very different from Arabic.
Persian is an Indo-European language, therefore from the same family as most European languages (including French). Arabic is a Semitic language, from the same family as Hebrew, Aramaic and Amharic (Ethiopia).
However Persian has been adopting a large number of loanwords from Arabic.
We can compare the situation to English, which has adopted a large number of French words, while remaining a Germanic language.
Note that modern Persian is written in the Arabic alphabet, with a few small adaptations.
