 * Like Samanids, they were Persian-speaking. Alefbe (talk) 17:40, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you; can that be added to the article? I assume that, being Muslim and literate, that they also had a speaking, reading, and writing understanding of Arabic? Can you also add the Arabic to the lead? Badagnani (talk) 17:43, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
