💡 Why "Farsi" and not "Persian"?

From a linguistic perspective, "Persian" functions as the overarching macro-language designation for the entire family of dialects spoken across the historic Iranian plateau (including Dari in Afghanistan and Tajiki in Tajikistan). Conversely, "Farsi" serves as the specific endonym and localized standard dialect native to modern Iran. This curriculum focuses exclusively on contemporary Farsi, standard Tehranian accent.
