| | THE IRANIAN: Features: Language, Persian or Farsi |
| | We should therefore avoid the use of the word Farsi instead of Persian (or Persan in French) because it not only violates historical fact but also some of the regularities of the language in which we speak. | | | This attempt to replace the word "Persian" with "Farsi" is not only incongruous with the history of the language but also creates confusion and misunderstanding. | | | Persian became the lingua franca of the region during the Islamic period. |

| | An Egyptian and a Qatari engage in a conversation in Arabic. | | | Despite this fact, however, the language used in their conversation is referred to as “Arabic.” No one will even attempt to classify their respective dialects separately and refer to them as “Qatari” and “Egyptian”! | | | The first paragraph of the pronouncement states: “PERSIAN has been used in a variety of publications including cultural, scientific and diplomatic documents for centuries and, therefore, it connotes a very significant historical and cultural meaning. |

| | IRI Envoy in Tajikistan: Persian language exposed to foreigners' threat - Irna |
| | Another speaker at the commemoration service, the Head of Dushanbe Orientology Research Center Dr. Jura Beig Nazariev said, "Ferdowsi is the national poet of all persian language speaking nations, and respected by all world nations." | | | He said, "The main objective in promoting such interactions is providing for an atmosphere in which the Persian language speaking nations would not forget the identity and common beliefs in Persian culture." | | | Sarmadi argued, "Even in Ferdowsi's era when the Persian language was not as much at stake as it is today, that grand master of the Persian language created his 'Shahnameh' (Letter of the Kings) to preserve this language from the threat of the foreigners' influence." |

| | Persian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Prior to British colonization, Persian was also widely used as a second language in the Indian subcontinent; it took prominence as the language of culture and education in several Muslim courts in the subcontinent throughout the Middle Ages and became the official court language under the Mughal emperors. | | | According to CIA World Factbook, there are 61 million native speakers of Persian language in Iran [1], Afghanistan [2], Tajikistan [3] and Uzbekistan [4]. | | | The features of the Persian variant have been taken for other languages, such as Pashto or Urdu, and have sometimes been further extended with new letters or punctuation. |

| | After the Arab conquest a knowledge of Arabic became necessary, for it was not only the language of the new rulers and their state, but of the religion they brought with them and - later - of the new learning. | | | There was for long considerable skepticism as to whether he was in fact the author of all or any of the quatrains attributed to him, but the discovery recently of manuscripts more ancient than any of those previously known has removed these doubts. | | | The most important of these were the Samanids, who established at Bokhara the first of many brilliant courts that were to patronize learning and letters. |

| | Iran - The Persian Language |
| | Modern Persian is a continually evolving language that began to develop about A.D. Following the Arab conquest of the Sassanid Empire in the seventh century and the gradual conversion of the population to Islam, Arabic became the official, literary, and written language, but Persian remained the language of court records. | | | Among scholars and librarians a profound dispute exists between those who think Persian should be transliterated in conformity with the rules for Arabic and those who insist that Persian should have its own rules because it does not use all of the same sounds as Arabic. | | | Many different dialects of Persian are spoken in various parts of the Central Plateau, and people from each city can usually be identified by their speech. |

| | The Persian language and our cultural interaction |
| | The English language has achieved its current status in the world because, in recent times, there have always been some people who think, talk, and write in English, while their works have also been quite popular. | | | That is to say, the English language is the language of both politics and economics. | | | When German philosopher Martin Heidegger said “Language is the house of being”, he was referring to some doctrines of his own philosophy, but at the same time he was also referring to the relationship between culture and language. |
