The official language of Iran, spoken by millions of people; also called Persian.
From 'Farsi' (Persian: فارسی), originally meaning 'of Persia/Pars'; Pars was an ancient province, and 'Farsi' literally means 'the language of Pars.' The word has been used for over 1,500 years.
Farsi uses a modified Arabic alphabet but is actually an Indo-European language related to English and French, not a Semitic language like Arabic—making its alphabet adoption a fascinating historical choice rather than linguistic kinship.
