About the language
Dari is the version of Persian spoken in Afghanistan, where it is a co-official language with Pashto and the native language of about half the population. It is a lingua franca for speakers of the 40 other languages spoken in the country. Dari also has about a million speakers in Pakistan and 15,000 in Iran. The vocabulary is mostly Persian, with words being borrowed from Arabic and, more recently, English. Although the official name of the language in Afghanistan is Dari, in the West it is also sometimes known as Afghan Persian.

Dari
is the variety of the Persian language spoken in Afghanistan. Dari is the term officially recognised and promoted since 1964 by the Afghan government for the Persian language, hence it is known as Afghan Persian or Eastern Persian in many Western sources. As Professor Nile Green remarks “the impulses behind renaming of Afghan Persian as Dari were more nationalistic than linguistic” in order to create an Afghan state narrative. Apart from a few basics of vocabulary, there is little difference between formal written Persian of Afghanistan and Iran. The term “Dari” is officially used for the characteristic spoken Persian of Afghanistan, but is best restricted to formal spoken registers. Persian-speakers in Afghanistan still prefer to call their language “Farsi,” while Pashto-speakers may sometimes refer to it as “Parsi. Farsi serves as the lingua franca for interethnic communications in Afghanistan.
As defined in the Constitution of Afghanistan, it is one of the two official languages of Afghanistan; the other is Pashto. The language is the most widely spoken language in Afghanistan and the native language of approximately 40–45% of the population. It serves as the lingua franca of the country and is understood by up to 78% of the population.
Fun facts of language
- A language proverb goes: ‘a fast donkey is better than a slow horse’, meaning ‘choose what works best, not what looks best’.
- Rather than saying don’t bite off more than you can chew, in Dari you can’t hold two watermelons in one hand!
- Dari and Farsi, the Persian from Iran, are mutually understandable but Dari has a ‘w’ sound, while Farsi replaces it with a ‘v’.
