I've read the first answer to your question and would like to tell you it's false. Farsi is derived from the ancient Persian languare and is an Indo-European language, a family that includes, believe it or not, English. Farsi is spoken in Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. Arabic is a member of the Semitic family of languages. The two are NOT the same.

no Farsi is not the Iranian dialect of Arabic ( do some research before you answer a question for god sake), Farsi is an independent language with it's own grammer and all those stuff but there are some Arabic words and verbs used in Farsi ... and it's not spoken in every islamic country but the ones which were under the rule of the Iranian empire such as Tajikestan, Afghanistan, parts of bahrain and georgia

Persians are Indo-European and Arabs are Semites. Their languages are extremely distantly related. Farsi is closer to English than to Arabic.

Farsi is a dialect which is spoken out of the Persian language and it is a dialect that is spoken from the parts of Republic of Turkey to southern russian countries. While Arabic is a language that is derived from Central semitic language that is related to Hebrew and Aramaic language, which is spoken through out the countries that has Islamic influence or has Islam as a dominant religion.
