A Study on the Impact of Arabic Language on Persian Language

Abstract

Arabic and Persian languages have interacted closely throughout history because of the ongoing communication between the Arab and Iranian peoples, and as a result, the two languages impact has produced works that moved from one to the other, something that might not be observed in any other pair of languages. Iranian civilization and Persian language, while accepting Arabic, did not give up at once and established a two-way interaction with it from the very beginning, in contrast to civilizations like Egyptian civilization, which forgot its previous language in front of Arabic and Islamic civilization. Numerous words have been borrowed between these two languages. The majority of legal, religious, and jurisprudential terminology in Persian is borrowed from Arabic. However, the Arabic language has also borrowed many words in a muddled form and some words in an intact form from Persian. The purpose of this article is to analyze and highlight various characteristics of the Arabic language's influence on Persian. However, the majority of research and studies have acknowledged or exaggerated the Arabic language's influence on Persian; this article explores the actual boundaries of this reciprocal influence.
