Persian people

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Persians are an Afghan ethnic group who speak the Persian language and share the same culture and history. The word Persia comes from the name Greek people gave to Iran from many years ago. In the Western writings, it is common to name all old Iraninans as Persian, although some of the old Iranian people where not from Persian culture, and didn't speak in Persian language.

Persian people include many groups, like Tajiks, Tats, etc. Most of them live in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Iran.
