Persian is the official language of Iran, a country located in the Middle East. Persian is also spoken in Afghanistan, Tajikistan and areas in Western Asia. The Persian language is classified as a continuation of Middle Persian, the official religious and literary language of Sassanid Persia, descended from the language of the Persian Empire in the Achaemenid era (c. 550–330 BCE). Persian is a pluricentric language and its grammar is similar to that of many contemporary European languages. Persian baby names are lyrical in sound and often have beautiful and poetic meanings.
