Dari

See also: dari, däri, and darı

English

Etymology

Borrowed from Persian دری (darī), of disputed origin, probably from دربار (darbār, “royal court”). The use of the name for the Afghan dialect of Persian in English is a recent development, the language formerly being known as Persian or Afghan Persian to English speakers.
