Persian voice over, natively reviewed.
Persian is spoken in several countries under three names, Farsi, Dari and Tajik, and the audience decides which voice is right.
Accents and variants of Persian.
- Farsi (Iran)
- The standard of Iran, used in broadcast and corporate content.
- Dari (Afghanistan)
- The Persian of Afghanistan, with its own accent and vocabulary.
- Tajik
- The Persian of Tajikistan, written in Cyrillic.
What a native Persian reviewer checks.
- Farsi, Dari or Tajik
- These are close but differ in accent, vocabulary and script, so we cast for the audience.
- Formal and spoken
- The written language is more formal than speech. Decide the register.
- Direction
- Persian runs right to left, and mixed text is checked for order.
Writing for Persian.
- Do not reuse Farsi for Dari
- An Afghan audience hears a Farsi accent at once.
- Short vowels
- Persian omits short vowels in writing, so a reviewer checks each ambiguous word.
- Loanwords
- Arabic and English loanwords are common, and how they are said varies.
Persian voice over: questions.
Can one Persian recording serve Iran and Afghanistan?
It will be understood, but an Afghan audience prefers Dari for anything addressed to it.
Is Tajik a separate job?
Yes. It uses Cyrillic and has its own standard.
