What is the difference between persian and Farsi?Or is persian the english way of saying Farsi?

[@AhliZaban]

“Farsi” is used to refer to the variety of Persian that is spoken in Iran. The term is used to distinguish it from“Dari” (the variety of Persian spoke in Afghanistan) and “Tajik” (the variety of Persian spoke in Tajikistan). The situation is a similar with English, which has “American,” “Australian,” and “British” varieties.

@@AhliZabanSalaam. Actually Persian is simply the English word for the language spoken in Persia, which Persians themselves call “Farsi” in their language. The terms Dari and Tajiki are also Persian and therefore also Farsi. In modern times we refer to only the Persian spoken in Iran as Farsi but that’s not really accurate because speakers of “Dari” and “Tajiki” also refer to their language Farsi. The three are all really the same language with slightly different pronunciations and are mutually intelligible.
