Farsça

Farsça, also known as Persian, is a Western Iranian language belonging to the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family. It is primarily spoken in Iran, Afghanistan (where it is known as Dari), and Tajikistan (where it is known as Tajik). Farsça has a rich literary history stretching back over two millennia, with significant contributions to poetry, philosophy, and science.

The script used for Farsça is a modified version of the Arabic alphabet, known as Perso-Arabic script. This script includes additional letters to represent sounds not found in Arabic. Farsça grammar is relatively simpler compared to many European languages, featuring a lack of grammatical gender and a straightforward verb conjugation system.

Historically, Farsça has served as a lingua franca in a vast region encompassing Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent, influencing many other languages. Its vocabulary has borrowed words from Arabic, Turkish, and to a lesser extent, European languages. Modern Farsça continues to evolve, with ongoing efforts to standardize terminology and promote its usage. It is recognized as an official language in Iran and is one of the world's oldest continuously spoken languages.
