farsi is of course, what used to be called persian, and the national language of iran.  dari is a dialect of farsi, spoken in afghanistan.\nurdu is an entirely different langauge altogether.  in fact, urdu and hindi are the same language, but urdu is written in the arabic script, and hindi is written in the devenagari script.  the only difference is that urdu has many arabic words incorporated into it, because the speakers are muslim.  most of these arabic words are used in greetings, whereas in hindi, the greetings are associated with hinduism, etc.

How can you compare.  Iran is not a Democracy - it is an Islamic Theocracy.\nUnder that form of Government - you have no say as to how many hours you work.

Yes it has Persian and Hebrew words in it a and these words considered Arabic now. Israel and Abraham are not of Arabic origins. Al fardous is originally Persian word means Paradise and it was used by Arabs at that time.

The main reason in being in Afghanistan is to be close to China! Let us think that all the wars post WWII we are working on surrounding China! [I do not know the reasons, but I have some ideas!]

Persian Language, also known as Farsi, is the most widely spoken member of the Iranian branch of the Indo-Iranian languages, a subfamily of the Indo-European languages. It is the language of Iran (formerly Persia) and is also widely spoken in Afghanistan and, in an archaic form, in Tajikistan and the Pamir Mountain region. \n\nPersian is spoken today primarily in Iran and Afghanistan, but was historically a more widely understood language in an area ranging from the Middle East to India. Significant populations of speakers in other Persian Gulf countries (Bahrain, Iraq, Oman, People's Democratic Republic of Yemen, and the United Arab Emirates), as well as large communities in the USA. \n\nTotal numbers of speakers is high: over 40 million Farsi speakers (about 50% of Iran's population); over 7 million Dari Persian speakers in Afghanistan (25% of the population); and about 2 million Dari Persian speakers in Pakistan. \n\nIn Afghanistan Farsi is spoken almost everywhere and close to 60 % of Afghanistan's total population speak Farsi or Dari. The map on the right should cover Herat and the nothern parts of Afghanistan where the majority of people speak Farsi. - Thank you, Laila Ahmadi \n\n\nThree phases may be distinguished in the development of Iranian languages: Old, Middle, and Modern. Old Iranian is represented by Avestan and Old Persian. Avestan, probably spoken in the northeast of ancient Persia, is the language of the Avesta, the sacred scriptures of Zoroastrianism. Except for this scriptural use, Avestan died out centuries before the advent of Islam. Old Persian is recorded in the southwest in cuneiform inscriptions of the Persian kings of the Achaemenid dynasty (circa 550-330 BC), notably Darius I and Xerxes I. Old Persian and Avestan have close affinity with Sanskrit, and, like Sanskrit, Greek, and Latin, are highly inflected languages.

El viaje valdría la pena.\naterrorizando is not used like that it lacks the subject to be right in Spanish. aterrador means the place is by itself in a terrifying situation.

Read "The Kiterunner"...it has lots of examples of unusual customs. (And below is some information from the Britanica website for you:)\n\nReligion has long played a paramount role in the daily life and social customs of Afghanistan. Even under the mujahideen leaders, Afghanistan appeared to be on a course of Islamization: the sale of alcohol was banned, and women were pressured to cover their heads in public and adopt traditional Muslim dress. But far more stringent practices were imposed as the Taliban enforced its Islamic code in areas under its control. These measures included banning television sets and most other forms of entertainment. Men who failed to grow beards and leave them untrimmed were fined and jailed—full beardedness being perceived by extremists as the mark of a Muslim—and little mercy was shown to convicted criminals. These and other policies were not widely popular, and the Taliban was subject to reproach at home and abroad for its inability to build a national administrative structure. But, in the absence of viable alternatives, most Afghans appeared to accept Taliban dictates for the more orderly society it brought. \n\nDaily life for Afghan women has changed radically in recent years. In the 1960s the wearing of a veil became voluntary, and women found employment in offices and shops; some women also received a university education. The situation changed, however, after 1992 and particularly following the Taliban's capture of Kabul in 1996. Authorities closed down girls' schools and forced women to give up employment in nearly all occupations. Strong penalties were applied against women who were not fully covered in the streets or who were found in the company of males unrelated to them. \n\nToday, in the post-Taliban era, daily life for most Afghans revolves around the exigencies of rebuilding a war-ravaged state. With increasing stability has come a greater and steadier food supply, but, in general, poor nutrition among Afghans has remained a serious cause of concern, especially in light of the neglect and destruction wrought upon the agricultural system during the war and the extended drought since the late 1990s. The staple of the Afghan diet is bread (nan), most commonly flat and oblong in shape and typically eaten when freshly removed from an earthen oven. Traditional cuisine consists of a variety of roast meats or meat pies (sanbuseh), stewed vegetables, rice pilaf, and a thick noodle soup (ash) accompanied by fresh fruit and an assortment of yogurt-based sauces. The wide absence of clean drinking water and of adequate sanitation has ensured continuation of a high mortality rate, especially among young children. Outside the large cities, electricity is reserved for the privileged few. \n\nOn the brighter side of daily life, the ban enforced by the Taliban on most forms of entertainment has been lifted, and the social atmosphere has become more relaxed. Afghans are again enjoying activities from kite flying to football, and photography is no longer prohibited. Though facilities are minimal, schools have been reopened—including those for girls—and women are once again entering the workforce. However, urban women have continued to wear the chador (or chadri, in Afghanistan), the full body covering mandated by the Taliban. This has been true even of those women of the middle class (most in Kabul) who had shed that garment during the communist era. Some men have shaved or trimmed their beards, but, aside from disregarding the style of turban associated with the Taliban, most have continued to dress traditionally—generally in the loose, baggy trousers typical of many parts of South and Central Asia, over which are worn a long overshirt and a heavy vest.

yes, stan is in some languages non-Arabic woh has endo-european origin such as kurdish, persian, urdu I guess.  and stan as some ppl told me means territory, land, or country..etc  so Kurdistan mean kurd land, Arabistan in Iran means Arab land, Pakistan means probably Pakis land. and so on. it doesn't have anything to do with Islam I guess.  except maybe this is the names those ppl gave to their areas to Arab Muslims maybe.

Some parts of Afghanistan may become more open. When I say open, I mean schools and working women etc. The rest of the country will remain the same. May be marginally better that means little to the world.\n\nNo other country would be in a position to rule it as the Russians did or the Pakistanis wished to do...\n\nThere is a saying that there are three no nos in the world\n\n1. Enemity with Afghans\n2. Drinking the water of Yamuna \n3. Trusting in people of Kashmiri... , but it is just a saying...

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.

Persian is a language and also an ethnicity. Different ethnic people live in Iran, they are all Iranian by nationality, the majority are Persian by ethnicity. Moreover, persian is something to be proud of ;)

it's Persian.\nIt's either written wrong (with the repetitions of boro and digeh), or it's one of those stupid songs they call pop these days (the disgrace to Persian music and poetry, if you know what i mean)

Tourists are once again visiting Afghanistan after a long HIATUS caused by the civil war. The company expects to resume production of the vehicle after a two-month HIATUS.\n\nPeople decide on their aims in life according to their INCLINATIONS. She says her large family happened partly from INCLINATION and partly from chance.\n\nThe food at the restaurant was nice enough but the service was rather LACKADAISICAL. She was annoyingly LACKADAISICAL and impractical.
