A weblog for every one who wants to learn Farsi

Introdution and Farsi history

Introdution

Hello every body…this is my weblog. My name is Ronak Ghavampour. I'm aH igh school student and my major is Biology. But I decided to learn Russian language in the summer time. So I understand how hard it can be!

Now I want to introduce you to my weblog and myself  more…

My weblog is about Farsi (Persian) language. I mean I will teach you my native language. It is hard but remember, I believe that if you want to learn something from bottom of your heart, you can…I believe so because I could. I always wanted to speak in foreign languages. When I was a little kid I always spoke in a strange language and I always told this is Russian language. Then when I grew up I found 2 international sites which they teach us every foreign language we want. So I started. Now I can speak in 7 languages. Farsi(native), English(advanced), Russian, French, german, Arabic and Turkish(beginner). But don't be shock J I just can understand some beginner sentences in French, german, arabic and Turkish…so if cannot speak in Farsi, Please write English comments!

That was hard for me to change the weblog's language into English. But you can find my previous texts in the part:آرشیو

Tell me if you have any comments, problems, questions, etc.

You can contact me by the comments part or even my Email address.

Thanks for reading.

 


Persian Language"
"

 

There are approximately 110million Persian speakers worldwide, with the language holding official status in Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan. For centuries Persian has also been a prestigious cultural language in Central Asia, South Asia, and Western Asia.[9] Persian is used as a liturgical language of Islam in Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan

.

Persian has had a considerable, mainly lexical influence on neighboring languages, particularly the Turkic languages in Central Asia, Caucasus, and Anatolia, neighboring Iranian languages, as well as Armenian, and Indo-Aryan languages, especially Urdu. It also exerted some influence on Arabic, particularly Mesopotamian Arabic, while borrowing much vocabulary from it after the Muslim conquest of Persia.

With a long history of literature in the form of Middle Persian before Islam, Persian was the first language in Muslim civilization to break through Arabic’s monopoly on writing, and the writing of poetry in Persian was established as a court tradition in many eastern courts.[ Some of the famous works of Persian literature are the Shahnameh of Ferdowsi, works of Rumi, Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, Divan of Hafiz and poems of Saadi.

Persian is an Iranian language belonging to the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-Europeanfamily of languages. In general, Iranian languages are known from three periods, usually referred to as Old, Middle, and New (Modern) periods. These correspond to three eras inIranian history; Old era being the period from sometime before Achaemenids, the Achaemenid era and sometime after Achaemenids (that is to 400300 BC), Middle era being the next period most officially Sassanid era and sometime in post-Sassanid era, and the New era being the period afterwards down to present day.

According to available documents, the Persian language is "the only Iranian language"5for which close philological relationships between all of its three stages are established and so that Old, Middle, and New Persian representone and the same language of Persian, that is New Persian is a direct descendent of Middle and Old Persian.(Wikipedia)
