by Ali P. on Mon Apr 06, 2009 10:53 AM PDTI like "Persian" better than "Farsi", but sometimes there are practical reasons to use "Farsi", over "Persian".
For example:
You are an Iranian, visiting the U.S. In a case of mistaken identity, you are picked up, and charged with a serious crime. You don't speak much English. The court provides you with a form, where you can ask for an interpreter. Let's say the administrative office of the court shares your view, and has "Persian" listed, and not "Farsi".
On the day of trial, where you have to give testimony, you find out your interpreter is from Afghanistan, and he, too, speaks Persian!
And furthur assume, your case involves a potato, a car, a cat, and swimming, and some money. You talk about seebzameenee, and he doesn't understand. Maasheen, he doesn't know. Gorbeh? What the hell is that? Shenaa? Haa? Pool? What?
( Our persian speaking Afghan brothers and sisters, call potato, kachaaloo, car, mowtar, cat, peeshak, and swimming, aab-baazee, money ,paysah!)
Would you want that? Would you feel you are afforded an interpreter who can effectively provide translation between you and the court, when you have so much at stake?
And if they say, "you asked for Persian interpreter, and we gave you Persian interpreter", what would you say? What do you propose to resolve this issue?
I have dealt with this issue a few times. To avoid the confusion, the office that I deal with, calls our language "Farsi", and the Afghans', "Dari".
Dear Mamnoon, Farsi or Persian?
by Anonymous_Aria (not verified) on Mon Apr 06, 2009 09:07 AM PDTDo you know the importance of using the right name for our language? Our language is Persian not Farsi. We use Farsi when we write or speak in Farsi(Persian) but when writing or speaking in English the correct name is PERSIAN and not Farsi. It is important to do so, Why? Ba az been bordaneh naameh Persian har ja keh betavaanand ta nameh Kaleeg fars ra ham betavaanand rahaattar avaz konand. Unfortunately many Iranians don't see and realize the Plot made by Iran's enemies and even they help them to achieve their goal with "nadaanee". It is so important that even Mullahs in Iran now use the name Persian more frequently: Persian Pipe Line etc. I hope we, all of us, understand it too!
