Dari translation services

Dari for the Afghan reader, not a generic Persian file.

About the language

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 is written right to left in the Perso-Arabic script. It shares a literary tradition with Farsi, but Afghan documents follow Afghan conventions and terminology — so we translate for the Afghan reader, not a generic “Persian” one.

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.
