> we do not consider them Parsi
Strange, as Parsi comes from the word Persi, or Persian. Rhythmically, Farsi is the language of the Persians. In Pakistan, we refer to native Farsi speaking people as Parsi, Persi, or Irani.
- yazaddaruvala 10y agoIt is equally strange that when I say "Asian" you don't think about Indians/Pasistani/Sri Lankans/Bangladeshi people. I can't tell you why. It doesn't make any logical sense. I can just tell you that this is the case. Like Asian, Parsi is a colloquialism first, a fact second. I do not know how else to describe it to you.
