Grammar in short

  • Word order is usually subject, object, verb.
  • Nouns have no grammatical gender.
  • The ezafe vowel -e links a noun to the words that describe it, as in ketāb-e man, my book.
  • A definite direct object takes rā after it.
  • The verb agrees with the subject in person and number. Subject pronouns are often left out.
  • The prefix mi- marks ongoing or habitual action. The prefix be- marks the subjunctive and the imperative.

Persian or Farsi

Speakers call the language fārsī. In English, ISO 639 and most libraries name it Persian. Farsi is also common in English, mostly for the language of Iran.

One language, three standards

Persian of Iran, Dari of Afghanistan and Tajik of Tajikistan are mutually intelligible in their standard forms. Many linguists treat them as one pluricentric language. Glottolog and ISO 639-3 list them as three languages (pes, prs, tgk), and each state names its own standard.

In law

The Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran (Article 15) makes Persian the official language and script. It allows regional and tribal languages in the press and media, and the teaching of their literature in schools, alongside Persian.Constitute Project.
