Languages | | | Can somebody explain to me the difference between pashto and dari?
| | A. | Hi!
Pashto is a separate language with originated from Eastern dialects of Persian (Farsi). It is now an official language of Afghanistan. It is entirely different in vocabulary from Persian (Farsi)
Dari is a dialect of Farsi / Persian, and both are mutually intelligible. An Iranian can understand a Dari-speaker, and vice versa. The so-called difference between Farsi and Dari is that Farsi is the form of the language spoken in Iran while Dari is the form of the language spoken in Afghanistan. | | | |
| Q. | How much different is dari to farsi? | Related Search:
Languages | | | Could someone from tehran communicate effectively with dari speaker from afghanistan straight away? Or would they need time to adjust to different dialect? I am an english speaker so no knowldge of how dialects might be different, so any explanations appreciated.
| | A. | There's a kinda misunderstand about them among non-Persian speakers.
We've 3 kinda Persian lang; Old Persian, Middle Persian, and Dari Persian. The third one which's the official language in Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan, has 3 different local names, in Iran it's called farsi or parsi, in Afghanistan it's called as "dari" and in Tajikistan it's called "Tojiki" , all are one ! however in Persian literature it's always "parsi" , Pars means Persia and Parsi means Persian.
All people from these 3 countries can speak to each other without any problem, but there's also some minor differences; for example in Iran we call chair as "sandali" but Afghans call it "chook" which's more correct. Iranians call cars as "mashin" or "khodro" but Afghans call it as "motor" !
by the way, no more "farsi" please ! it's simply "Persian" ... ok? | | | |
| Q. | What is the origin of persian (dari) in Afghanistan? | Related Search:
Anthropology | | | Did the persian empire introduce dari to the Afghans? Was there any invasion of Afghanistan by persians at some time?
And are the farsi people of persian descent?
| | A. | The Afghan People are mostly Iranians by race and language. Some speak Pashto, another iranian language, while others speak the dari dialect of farsi.
Afghanistan was always a part of Iran until the late 18th century. Measures were taken by the Brits and Russians to keep Afghanistan and present day Iran from reunifying in order to weaken Iran.
Many secular portions of Afghan culture today are still made up of Iranian traditions.
Afghanistan was an Iranian province for about 2330 years. | | | |

| Q. | How similar are Dari and Farsi? | Related Search:
Languages | | | I need to learn Dari to communicate in Afghanistan, but the only good programs (like Rosetta Stone) that I can find are for Farsi. I have been told they are similar (or the same), but don't want to spend a lot of money to buy them if the two dialects are too different to understand. If I learn Farsi will I be able to communicate with those who speak Dari?
| | A. | Either way you are referring to the Persian language.
Dari is the version of Persian spoken by Afghanis.
Farsi is a Persian word. It means Persian in Persian. (just as Espanol means Spanish in Spanish). The word for "Farsi" in English is "Persian".
This can be a little bit confusing since the media and the government and commercial entities tend to use the wrong words.
Yes, if you learn Persian (Farsi) you will be able to communicate with those who speak Dari, because they are both Persian.
It's like someone learning American English. They will still be able to communicate with people from England.
So go ahead and get the program that you refer to above.
Good Luck | | | |
