Persian (known variously as: فارسی Fārsi or پارسی Pārsi, local name in Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan, Tajik, a Central Asian dialect, or Dari, another local name in Tajikistan and Afghanistan) is a language spoken in Iran, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Bahrain, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Southern Russia, neighboring countries, and elsewhere. \nPrior to British colonization, Persian was also widely used as a second language in the Indian subcontinent; it took prominence as the language of culture and education in several Muslim courts in the subcontinent throughout the Middle Ages and became the official court language under the Mughal emperors. \nEvidence of its former rank in the region can still be seen by the extent of its influence on Hindi and Urdu, as well as the popularity that Persian literature still enjoys in the region. Persian and its dialects have official-language status in the countries of Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. \nAccording to CIA World Factbook, there are 61 million native speakers of Persian in Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. It belongs to the Indo-European language family, and is of the Subject Object Verb type. Since 200 million people speak in Persian throughout the world, UNESCO was asked to select Persian as one of its languages in 2006.

I prefer an iranian girl...\n\nIran should be an Interesting place to visit, if it was more politically stable. Persian History is very rich (by the way don't confuse Iranians with Arabs)\n\nUnfortunally their leaders have very dangerous ideas...

NO Ishamael ... the only right thing you said was that you could be wrong, and also the fact that your answer is no more than an assumption.\nHeaven ... the main reason why learning English is hard is that Iran is a non-English-speaking country, and so people are not exposed to English. I have to admit English education in schools (even though a subject for 6-7 years) is not quite practical. Solution : read books ... lots and lots of books. I think it's important that you read them aloud. Also, listen to radio, TV, etc.

I have no problems with Persians. They are unfortunate in living under a medieval theocracy who deny basic human rights to the people especially women.

All right I'll try. A Persian would be a citizen of the perian empire (now defunct), which was centered on the Iranian plateau though it did strech at one point from Libya to India. Today a persian is normally considered an Iranian. \n\nAn arab(I know this cheap)\nEthnic identity: someone who considers him or herself to be an Arab (regardless of racial or ethnic origin) and is recognized as such by others. \nLinguistic: someone whose first language is Arabic (including any of its varieties); this definition covers more than 250 million people. Arabic belongs to the Semitic family of languages. \nGenealogical: someone who can trace his or her ancestry back to the original inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula. \nPolitical: someone who is a resident or citizen of a country where Arabic is an official or national language, or is a member of the Arab League or is part of the wider Arab world; this definition would cover more than 300 million people, but it is rather simplistic and rigid in that it excludes the entire Diaspora but includes indigenous or migrant minorities. \n\n A Jew or Hebrew may live in Israel though many people identify themselves as being jewish without having ever seen it. \n(cut and paste ur my only friend)\nJudaism guides its adherents in both practice and belief, and has been called not only a religion, but also a "way of life," which has made drawing a clear distinction between Judaism, Jewish culture, and Jewish nationality rather difficult. In many times and places, such as in the ancient Hellenic world, in Europe before and after the Enlightenment (see Haskalah), and in contemporary United States and Israel, cultural phenomena have developed that are in some sense characteristically Jewish without being at all specifically religious. Some factors in this come from within Judaism, others from the interaction of Jews with others around them, others from the inner social and cultural dynamics of the community, as opposed to religion itself.\n\nBedouins are a nomadic desert people who live in north africa and the middle east\n\nA Kurd is a person living mainly in the northern area of Iraq, Iran, and Syria. who are normally muslim\n\nA Turk is a Turkish citizen\n\nA Druze ... I'm not really sure I think it an Islamic sect\n\nBerbers... no clue sorry, better luck next time
