How do the Iranian diaspora contribute to the collective Iranian identity?

Fargilisi?/ Finglish or Pinglish?

I am wondering what you guys think of Farglisi that is spoken among second generation Iranian-Americans?

is this okay to speak Farglisi? Is this going to damage Iranian culture? yes? No? Why?

Do you think it will change the future of Farsi? the same way that arabic did long time ago?

I am a graduate student in Comparative Media Studies at MIT and I am currently working on my thesis about the reconstruction of Iranian identity in America. I was hoping to post some discussion questions here to collect your opinion and reflect them in my work.

1) What do you like about Iranian culture? And what do you dislike and try to avoid?

2) Do you prefer to marry an Iranian-American than any other nationality? why?

3) What would you change about Iranian-Americans community?
