#7: Misconception About Iran’s Predominant Language

Contrary to common belief, Arabic is not the predominant language of Iran; rather, Persian, locally known as Farsi, serves as the official language. Spoken by over 110 million people globally, Farsi’s reach extends beyond Iran, especially throughout central Asia.

Apart from Farsi, Iran is a linguistic tapestry featuring a myriad of languages like Kurdish, Azerbaijani, Arabic, Gilaki, Mazandarani, Balochi, Lurish, Turkmen, Tatii, Talysh, and more, showcasing the country’s rich cultural diversity.
