  • Today, the Iranians use the term Farsi for their language only. The English equivalent of 'Farsi' is 'Persian' (Like Deutsch and German). Iranians prefer Persian to Farsi since Persian has a broader meaning and could be used for all Iran-related items (such as Persian language, Persian cat, Persian rug / carpet, Persian literature, Persian Gulf, and so on) while Farsi fails to do so.

  • PLEASE DON'T USE WORD FARSI BECAUSE IS INCORRECT.

    Farsi is the 'Arabized' equivalent for 'Parsi'. Since there is no /p/ sound in Arabic language, the Arabs replaced /p/ of Parsi with /f/ after they invaded Iran. Parsi refers to Persia and means 'of Persia' or 'of Iran', the English version of which is Persian, while 'Farsi' conveys no message about the background of Iran (known as Persia in history). In this regard, 'Persian' is equal to 'Iranian'.
