CULP Introduction to Persian

Number of sessions: 15

Persian is considered the second language of Muslims and lots of religious, history and literary works are written originally in this language. More importantly, it is the language of people who have a very rich literature, history and culture. Therefore many people, researchers, scholars, and students in the world have given great attention to it and have studied it in order to be able to read and study Persian literary works, poetry and prose works in the source language and further to translate them into other languages for the public to enjoy. In addition, Persian has been of more importance because of the strategic political role of Iran in the Middle East and the world as well as other developments and changes in the region.
