what do you think about Persian language?

Answer 2

It is a language I've never had much interest in even though I'm told that the Iranians themselves are very proud of it and love to recite extraordinarily long verses of poetry in it. While I can still appreciate their perspective, I don't see where Persian (or Farsi) is a language that is relevant to the interests and concerns of most Americans.

Whereas Modern Greek and Italian are definitely descendants of Ancient Greek and Latin, there is some question about whether Modern Persian is descended from the Old Persian of Xerxes and Darius the Great. Some scholars think it may have evolved more from the language of the Parthians whose language belonged to the Northeastern or Scythian branch of the Indo-Iranian family rather than the Southwestern or Persid branch of Indo-Iranian. About 60% of the vocabulary of Modern Persian is of Arabic origin due to the Islamic conquest of the country between 638 and 642 A.D.

The Dari language of Afghanistan and the Tajik language of Turkmenistan are both closely related to modern Persian.

Answer 3

Persian literature is one of the richest in the world. After the Arab conquest of 7th century, Islam replaced Zoroastrianism and Arabic became the language of law, religion and culture in Khorasan. However with the rise of Samanids and the political revival of Khorasan, Persian reemerged as a literary medium and developed into the established literary form of Persian language. During the period of Samanids a new era of literary activity began. The ancient traditions of Khorasan and Islam merged together. Persian was especially instrumental in freeing Islam from an exclusive attachment to Arabic culture, universalizing, and thus helping preserve it.
