About the language

Farsi at a glance

Farsi is the language of Iran. While it's mutually intelligible with Dari and Tajik, we differentiate when matching interpreters so client expectations are met.

Farsi is written right to left in the Perso-Arabic script. Its Central Asian sibling, Tajik, uses Cyrillic instead — and careful Farsi delivery also covers RTL layout, correct fonts, and conversions from the Iranian (Solar Hijri) calendar where dates appear.

Farsi has around 70 million speakers in Iran, Afghanistan (as Dari), and the diaspora. We cover the varieties listed here and can match a linguist to a specific region or community on request.
