Thank you for this amazing video! I am an Uzbek from Uzbekistan, but I am also a Tajik speaker! I have read Shahnameh, Firdowsi, actually it was in school curriculum! I love the Persian language, and have roots from modern day Iran! There is no other language in the world more beautiful than Persian/Tajik! ❤❤❤

I just love Iran and it’s people. Was there five times and each time was amazing…..

[jonimaricruz]

I had several Iranian friends when I was in college, I learned a few Farsi phrases which I’ve long since forgotten but I remember how lovely a spoken language it was. What I especially remember about them though, is how friendly and hospitable they were. No matter what time of day it was, if you stopped by they insisted on feeding you at least coffee or tea and something to eat. I’ve lost track of them but I hope they are all doing well.

Persian is a beautiful and very expressive language. I have bachelordegree in Persian and I've been in Iran eight times. So wonderful people...

برای من که اهل افغانستان هستم هیچ زبانی در سطح دنیا برایم فارسی نمیشود فارسی زیباست و بزرگ، افتخار میکنم که زبانم فارسی است. 🇦🇫🇮🇷🇹🇯

As a native Persian speaker, I'm here to tell you that Persian poems are so, so beautiful. I mean, you can't find anything like them anywhere. I'm so happy that Persian is my first language so that I can read them all and enjoy them. And I'm so happy that you made this video. Thank you! It's nice to see someone acknowledges the difference between Persian and Arabic. Arabic almost has nothing to do with our language.

[BabulAli]

Farsi in my opinion is the most poetic language I've ever heard.

[farzan]

Here I learned a lot about history of my country language (Persian) from a non Iranian scholar! Well done Paul, you are fantastic.

[BactrianNomad]

Persian is one of the most influential languages in the history of civilizations.

[DimaKats]

I really like how Farsi sounds, soft and beautiful in my opinion. I had some Persian friends in Cyprus. Greetings frkm Cyprus!

[channelthegijoeshow]

BTW.. Persian was used as a court language in India up until the late 19th century. Indian and Pakistani courts still use many Persian legal jargon during proceedings,

[sahbasadr]

woww, as a native Persian speaker and an Iranian, I am so impressed by the accuracy and eloquence of your presentation. Also the way you differentiated Persian from Arabic was something exceptional among non-Persian speakers. Thank you.

[mitraj]

As a Persian I'm very satisfied with this video and wanted to thank you fro making it! It's very educational to those who have no clue about Persian. I also assumed you were Iranian because I usually don't see others talk about Persian so I was even more glad to find that this wasn't the case and Persian must have interested you enough to make multiple videos on!

[soniya]

I m a Tajik Persian from Tajikistan enjoyed your video thank you
