It should read "persian-speaking" and NOT "farsi-speaking" which is an incorrect and damaging term (to Iranian culture) that Iranians abroad are ignorantly promoting and using. Please use the correct term for our language in english which is "persian". This is the correct english term and the term that non-Iranian across the world have been using when referring to Iranians (persian cat, persian carpet, persian miniature, persia...)
How beautiful! Brings out the emotion in any farsi speaking person.Thank you for sharing!
