English-Dari-Persian dictionary

By Yavar Dehghani

Persian and Dari are the same language - until they're not.

Both descended from Classical Persian, the language of Rumi, Hafez, and Ferdowsi. Both share the same script, the same grammar, and most of their vocabulary. Yet anyone who has worked across Iranian and Afghan communities knows that the differences matter - in translation, in communication, and in understanding.

English-Dari-Persian Dictionary is a practical three-way reference that maps these differences side by side. For each entry, you get the Persian (Farsi) form used in Iran, the Dari form used in Afghanistan, and the English meaning - all in one place, at a glance.

This dictionary is for you if you are:

A translator or interpreter working across Persian and DariA humanitarian worker, aid professional, or NGO staff member operating in AfghanistanA language learner studying either Farsi or Dari and wanting to understand bothA Persian speaker trying to communicate with Afghan Dari speakers, or vice versaA researcher, journalist, or student working with Afghan or Iranian communities

What makes this dictionary different:

Organised by Persian script for easy reference across both varietiesEntries presented in three columns - Persian, Dari, and English - for instant comparisonCompiled by a bilingual linguist with professional expertise in both varietiesCovers everyday vocabulary across a wide range of topics and registersAn honest, practical tool that acknowledges where the two varieties converge and where they diverge

Whether you reach for it daily or keep it close for those moments when you need to know exactly which word belongs to which variety - this dictionary fills a gap that has long existed in Persian language reference publishing.
