FARSI

farsi alphabet introduction

word-final word-medial word-initial alone letter
alef Did you know that Persian and Farsi (
faarsee) are both names for the
be language of Iran? Persian is commonly used in the West , but its native speakers call
pe the language Farsi, a term which owes its existence to the Arab conquest of Iran in
te the 7th century. As Arabic doesnt have a p sound, Pars (originally the name of the
se southern Iranian province) became known as Fars to the conquerors.
je It might come as a surprise that Arabic and Farsi dont have the same roots. Farsi
che is an Indo-European language and belongs to the West Iranian branch of the Indo-
he Iranian language family. Its related to Kurdish, Baloshi and Pashto and, more
khe distantly, Urdu. As the language of Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan, Farsi has
daal around 70 million speakers, although only about 50 million claim it as their first
zaal language. The dialect of Farsi spoken in Afghanistan (known as Dari) is very similar
re to the standard Farsi of Iran, based on the speech of the capital Teheran. However,
ze
Tajik the variety spoken in Tajikistan has become quite different and is now
zhe
usually considered a separate language.

The ancestor of modern Farsi is Old Persian, which was spoken by the Parsa tribe
saad during the time of the Achaemenian Empire (550300 BC). Related to Sanskrit, Old
zaad Persian was recorded in the cuneiform inscriptions of the time. It evolved into Middle
taa Persian during the time of the Sassanian Empire (AD 220650) , when it was written
zaa in Pahlavi script, a modified version of the Aramaic alphabet. After the Arab conquest, a

i n t r o d u c t i o n FA R S I
eyn huge number of words from Arabic entered Farsis vocabulary. By the 9th century Mod-
gheyn ern Persian was emerging, and the Pahlavi script was replaced by Perso-Arabic script,
fe based on the Arabic alphabet but with the addition of four letters to represent Farsi
ghaaf sounds that didnt occur in Arabic. Interestingly, Perso-Arabic script later served as the
kaaf basis for Urdus writing system. Farsis influence on Hindi, Urdu and Bengali was huge,

gaaf as it was the official language of the Islamic Mughal Empire in northern India from the
laam 16th century until the establishment of the British Raj in the mid-19th century.
meem For arguably the best examples of Farsis elegance, check out the mystical re-
noon ligious writings of Sufism and its rich stock of poetry by renowned authors like Rumi,
ve Sadi and Hafiz. The contact between Farsi and English over the centuries is reflected
he in a vast number of Farsi loanwords from arsenic to bezoar, from algorithm and

n ye chess to magic and serendipity, from baksheesh and bazaar to cheque and kiosk, from
sandal to shawl, and from satrap to paradise a testament to the vitality of Persian
culture through history.

that if a consonant is written twice, it should be pronounced twice.
