It’s part of our overseas propaganda efforts to use American linguistic hegemony to void cultural and historical ties with countries we aren’t friends with. The language is Persian, not Farsi.
- candiodari 3y agoI guess only the Italians and the Russians have American friendship. French in French = Francais German in German = Deutsch Spanish in Spanish = Espanola Dutch in Dutch = Nederlands (old name: Diets, I might add) Irish in Irish = Gaelic (actually kind-of refers to 2 languages, but ...) Swedish in Swedish = Svenska Norwegian in Norwegian = Norsk Finnish in Finnish = Suomalainen (Note: most of these have various accents and special characters that aren't correctly typed here, as well as a bunch of nuances that really should be there)
