Iranian Persian (Persian: فارسی ایرانی, romanized: Fârsi-ye Irâni), Western Persian or Western Farsi, natively simply known as Persian (Persian: فارسی, romanized: Fârsi), refers to the varieties of the Persian language spoken in Iran and by minorities in neighboring countries, as well as by Iranian communities throughout the world. These are mutually intelligible with other varieties of Persian, including Afghanistan's Dari and Tajikistan's Tajiki.
