Farsi is one of many if I remember - I don't remember if all the other Iranian langauges qualify as distinct languages or just Farsi dialects.

Yeah, there are a few different languages in Iran. Turkish, Arabic, and the Persian dialects of Birjandi, Khorasani, Larestani, Shirazi, Delijani, Jewish Esfehani, Behdini, Bakhtiari, Lori, Aftari, Semnani, Keladarshti, Mazandarani, Gilaki, Taleshi, Pashto, and Dari. A linguists playground!

Farsi is the offical government language. I know, we sold them printers. It's a bitch to make them printers print that script.
