Persian (فارسی) is the Southwestern Iranian language historically called Farsi in Iran, Dari in Afghanistan and Tajik in Tajikistan. These are largely the same language with regional accent, vocabulary and orthography differences (Tajik uses Cyrillic). About 110 million people speak Persian globally. The Academy of Persian Language and Literature recommends 'Persian' over 'Farsi' in English usage.
Persian is FSI Category III — about 1,100 hours — but it has several relatively friendly features: no grammatical gender, no noun cases, no articles, regular verb conjugations, and SOV word order. The script (32 letters, right to left) takes time and short vowels are not written. The ezāfe — a short -e linking nouns to modifiers (mašin-e man 'my car') — is also unwritten and trips up beginners.
