Dari interpretation services
Dari for Afghan clients — not Iranian Farsi by default.
Dari at a glance
Dari (Afghan Persian) is mutually intelligible with Iranian Farsi but uses distinct vocabulary. We pair Afghan clients with Dari interpreters specifically — not Farsi — for cultural and lexical accuracy.
Dari and Iranian Farsi are close but not the same. They're mutually intelligible, yet accent and everyday vocabulary differ enough that Afghan clients can tell immediately — so we assign Dari interpreters specifically, including Hazaragi speakers where requested.
Dari has around 30 million speakers in Afghanistan and the diaspora. We cover the varieties listed here and can match a linguist to a specific region or community on request.
