The name "Dari" refers to "Dar" or "Darbar" (the court). This name was given to the language spoken in the Sasanian court in Ctesiphon. It referred to a variant of middle Persian. Dari is thus a continuation of middle Persian. Its main differences with that language is in its consonants and the construction of its verbs. Both languages share the same eight vowels (â,a,î,i,û,u,ç,ô). Dari Persian is the direct parent of modern and Tajiki Persian languages spoken today. Dari contains far less number of foreign loan words that modern and Tajiki Persians.
