[QUOTE="Sammie, post: 174947, member: 8657"] Sorry I'm getting off the beaten path here but couldn't sit this one out. Can't believe what I just read. Many countries and languages have different names in other languages. The Germans call their country Deutschland, Americans call it Germany. In 1935, the Shah of Iran decided (terrible decision...) that Persia was to be called Iran because of diplomatic ties; although Winston Churchill preferred the name Persia to remain in use. In 1949 Iran decided that the names Iran and Persia could both be used. The West still refers to this land as Persia. Persian is the official language of Persia/Iran, Tajikistan and Afghanistan.
