Dari
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Dari is the name of a dialect of the Persian language. It is spoken in Afghanistan, and some parts of Iran.
In the past, the name Dari was also used for the dialects that were spoken by the kings and by learned people. Most of the old Persian poems and stories are written in Dari.
There are thousands and thousands of pages in Dari language from great Afghan poets, like Jalaludin Balkhi, Rumi, Bayhaqi and Nasser Khesrow. Although Ferdousi was from Iran, he was hired by the great Afghan Sultan Mahmood Ghaznavi to finish his Shahnameh in Dari, in Ghazni, a city about less than 100 miles from Kabul.
