English-Dari-Persian dictionary

By Yavar Dehghani

A bridge between two cultures and one language family

Language is more than words-it is culture, identity, and communication. This three-way dictionary brings together English, Persian (Farsi), and Dari, revealing how these closely related languages share deep roots yet express themselves in distinct ways across Iran and Afghanistan.

Compiled by linguist Yavar Dehghani, this resource provides clear, side-by-side entries that make it easy to recognize and compare differences in vocabulary, pronunciation, and usage between the two major dialects of Persian. Whether you are a student, translator, educator, or traveler, this book offers a concise and practical tool to navigate cross-dialect communication with confidence.

Inside this dictionary, you'll find:

Over a thousand commonly used words and phrases in English, Farsi, and Dari

Clear transliteration for learners who cannot yet read the Persian script

Insightful distinctions between Iranian and Afghan usage

A compact and user-friendly layout ideal for quick reference

Designed for language learners, bilingual families, and cross-cultural professionals

Why this book matters

Persian and Dari are not just dialects-they are voices of shared heritage across borders. This trilingual dictionary empowers readers to understand, translate, and connect across Iran, Afghanistan, and the Persian-speaking diaspora, deepening both linguistic knowledge and cultural appreciation.
