Languages in Afghanistan
Dari is a language spoken by approximately 12.5 million people in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is the language of governance and education in Afghanistan. It is mutually intelligible with the Persian (Farsi) spoken in Iran, and is sometimes called Afghan Persian. The name "Dari" dates from at least the 10th century, when it was mentioned by writers in Arabic and Persian.
Persian is taught at IU during the summers through the Language Workshop. Learn more about Dari on Omniglot and Wikipedia
