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)

 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)

"Its grammar is similar to that of many European languages."


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)

Countries Persian is native to..

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)

I suggest that you change all the "Farsi" to, "Parsi". This is because, in the conquest of Persia in the 7th century. The arab script did not have the "p" phoneme. As a workaround, they switched it to the closest phoneme "f", and that is why over the years, it transitioned to "Farsi" Spoondabloon (talk) 19:16, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

 Not done. We write this encyclopedia not in 6th-century Persian, but in 21st-century English, and therefore we use the words that are used in the English language today, and we report on the words that are used in Persian today. Fut.Perf. 19:53, 17 June 2026 (UTC)
