Persian (local names: فارسی fɒːrˈsi or پارسی [pɒːrˈsi]) is an Indo-Europeanlanguage spoken in Iran, Afghanistan, Central Asia, and Greater Los Angeles. Persian has been a medium for literary and scientific contributions to the Islamic world as well as the Western. It has had an influence on certain neighbouring languages, particularly Turkish, though the Turks will never admit to it (much like the Armenian genocide). Since 1979, it has been the primary medium of inflammatory rhetoric worldwide; though actually beaten out AmericanEnglish in terms of pure hateful words, the mullahs of Iran do exceed the Republicans of America in their actual amount of hatred and medieval ideology. Spoken in Iran for centuries, the language has also gained currency in Los Angeles County, where the Iranian middle class fled after seeing many of Iran's best and brightest minds strewn upon the streets of Tehran.
Iranian Persian has six vowels and twenty-three consonants, including two affricates /ʧ/ (ch) and /ʤ/ (j). As an Indo-European language, it has grammar that is comprehensible to Christendom. Essentially, it is English backwards without the whining. For example, the English "America, America, God shed his grace on thee" becomes the Farsi "Marg bar Amrika."
