Persian is definitely a language, before it was called Iran, it was called Persia. Go to www.languagequest.com and you will find out how to speak Persian, if you are interested in the girl.

Yes.Persian and Farsi are one and the same. Incidentally Persian has a very rich literature. It was also the court language of Moguls while they were ruling India.
