A form of Persian language spoken in Afghanistan, one of the country's major languages alongside Pashto.
From Persian 'dari' meaning 'of the court' or 'courtly,' derived from 'dar' meaning 'door' or 'court.' It was historically the language of the royal court and administrative centers.
The word 'dari' literally means 'of the court'—it's a reminder that language prestige is often tied to power, and what counts as 'proper' language is usually whatever the royal court spoke.
