'''Dari''' (''Fārsī-ye Darī'') is a [[dialect]] of the [[Persian language]]. It is the Persian language as spoken in [[Afghanistan]]. It is the second official language of Afghanistan,<ref name="AO">{{cite web|title=Article Sixteen of the Constitution of Afghanistan|url=http://www.afghan-web.com/politics/current_constitution.html#preamble|quote=From among the languages of Pashto, Dari, Uzbeki, Turkmani, Baluchi, Pashai, Nuristani, Pamiri (alsana), Arab and other languages spoken in the country, '''Pashto and Dari are the official languages of the state.'''|year=2004|accessdate=June 13, 2012|archive-date=October 28, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131028065437/http://www.afghan-web.com/politics/current_constitution.html#preamble|url-status=dead}}</ref> and is widely used by the government and most media agencies. It is mainly spoken by the [[Tajiks]] and other minority groups. A small minority also exists in parts of Pakistan closest to these named regions.<ref name="Iranica2">Ch. M. Kieffer, ''"AFGHANISTAN v. Languages"'', in Encyclopædia Iranica, Online Edition 2010, ([http://iranica.com/articles/afghanistan-v-languages] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101208184733/http://www.iranica.com/articles/afghanistan-v-languages |date=2010-12-08 }}).</ref> It is sometimes called [[Farsi]]. People in Afghanistan and Iran who speak Persian can understand each other. The name Dari was given to the Persian language at a very early date.<ref name="Iranica1">G.

Historically, Dari was the court language of the [[Sassanids]].<ref name="EI">[[Frye, R.N.]], "Darī", ''[[The Encylcopaedia of Islam]]'', Brill Publications, CD version</ref>
