Hello @Snowstormfigorion

Please stop your Anti-Persian sentiment. The name of Persian language from Origin is (Pārsi) and now most of iranians say it Fārsi... But you must not remove it's Originnaly name beacuse you want and think it is right!!!

now using of this noun Pārsi is increasing more in Iran specially between Teenagers and young Iranians.

hello, you made a mistake, where it says native to its should be usbekistan as uzbek ~2025-39646-20 (talk) 18:22, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: "Tajik" is correct there, as it's spoken by the Tajik minority in Uzbekistan. Uzbek is a Turkic language that has nothing to do with Persian. Day Creature (talk) 19:02, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The map uses 5 different shades of blue to represent the volume of Persian speakers but something is wrong. I don't know if it's simply because the contrast between the blues is misleading to the eye, or if the shades of blue shown in the legend are not the same as the map. But Iran looks darker than the darkest blue in the legend, and it appears that USA and Russia have Persian as an official language. ~2025-37649-46 (talk) 14:39, 25 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

Though sourced, this statement is vague and questionable (mainly because it's vague). Yes, Persian is an Indo-European language like the majority of languages spoken in Europe, but what does exactly mean "Its grammar is similar to that of many European languages."? Persian is only distantly related to them and even if its grammar resembles theirs more than the grammars (or most grammars) of non Indo-European languages, in what way would it be? Is Persian grammar more similar to English, German, Russian, Greek, Spanish? That does not make much sense. I think this sentence should be removed because it's simply too imprecise to be even debatable. ~2026-15476-07 (talk) 10:39, 11 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

With a significant number of speakers, as shown on the prevalence map in this article, Pakistan should included in the 'native to' column on the right side. I am dehwari speaking, from Baluchistan, we speak Persian solely ~2026-30922-62 (talk) 16:21, 23 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
