ritva, is German/Deutch any different?

No Persian. Farsi is the Persian title for the language

Thank you for the nice introduction! I would think that the impact of Turkish languages on Persian has been far greater than French. Modern Persian has many loaned Turkic words. I think you need to expand on this.

This presentation would be more enjoyable in Farsi!
