Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.
Persian, also known as Farsi in Iran, is a major language of the Iranian branch of the Indo-Iranian language family. It serves as the official language of Iran and has official status in Afghanistan (as Dari) and Tajikistan (as Tajik). Persian has a rich literary history dating back over a millennium, with renowned poets such as Hafez, Rumi, and Ferdowsi contributing to its legacy. Written in the Persian script, a modified version of the Arabic script, it is spoken by over 80 million native speakers and is known for its influence on neighboring languages and cultures in Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Persian's vocabulary and grammar have remained relatively stable over centuries, allowing modern speakers to understand classic Persian literature with relative ease.
Dari is one of the two official languages of Afghanistan, alongside Pashto, and serves as a lingua franca across the country. A variety of Persian, Dari is deeply rooted in Afghanistan's culture and history, with influences from classical Persian literature and Islamic scholarship. It is spoken primarily by Tajiks, Hazaras, Aimaqs, and other Persian-speaking communities, as well as being widely used in government, education, media, and commerce. Dari exhibits subtle differences from Iranian Persian, particularly in pronunciation, vocabulary, and some grammatical structures, but remains mutually intelligible with it. With around 15–20 million speakers, including second-language users, Dari plays a vital role in uniting Afghanistan's diverse ethnic groups.
