Ever wondered how Farsi sounds like to non-farsi speakers?

Just wanted to ask if anyone wondered how farsi sounded like? Like, for example for us Japanese, Chinese sounds very weird and aggressive e.t.c Does anyone know how farsi sounds? I guess you have to be a non-farsi speaker to answer this truly.

In my opinion it is closest to Anatolian Turkish.

There is no language called Farsi!

It always reminds me a mix of Kurdish and Uzbek. LoL

I think he means in the English language there is no such word as Farsi, it should be Persian.  BUT, the word Farsi has actually become part of the English vocabulary thanks to the recent Iranian migrations to the West and their reference to thier langauge to non-Iranians: Farsi.

It sounds beautiful to my bilingual--English and Spanish-- ears.

I think just because it is more recognizeable in the west to say "Persian" it doesnt make it anymore right than saying Farsi.  On the other hand, in terms of ethnicity, its the opposite.

Most Iranians i know in the US, dont even call themselves Iranians, but label themselves as "Persians."

As you see even our great leader uses Parsi not Farsi (the arabicized version of Parsi)!

 

in this site  http://www.leader.ir/   

your great leader is using Farsi not Parsi, which means that there is a language called Farsi

about the topic i think Persian sounds smooth (the official TV once) but not like the French which is more like baby talking.

Persian langage is  a great languge.

 

 

I speak nor understand farsi.

To me it sounds like Hebraic.

He meant Hebrew I guess.

Persian sounds softer than Semitic languages, harsher than European ones, with lots of "sh" and "kh"s. But a soft harmony.

To me, it is a beautiful language, unlike Arabic or Hebrew (in terms of sounding)...
