The language spoken in Iran is Persian (wrongly known as Farsi). Also spoken in Afghanistan, Tadjikistan and certain parts of China and Uzbekistan, Persian belongs to the Indo-Iranian family of languages. An old form of this
language prevailed in the Persian Empire as early as the 6th century BC, when the language was written in cuneiform. Later, in the 2nd century BC the Persians created a new alphabet known as Pahlavi which remained in use until the Arab invasion of Persia in the 7th century. Since then, Persian has been written in the Arabic script. However, although Persian and Arabic alphabet may be similar to some extent today ,the languages themselves are absolutely different from each other.

There are 32 letters in the Persian (Farsi) alphabet but every one of them take between 2 to 4 different shapes in a written text so that some scholars believe there are in fact something about 100 characters in Farsi.

There are more in this book about the Persian language in the phrase book section at the end of tis volume.
