Talk:Persian vocabulary

This seems like an article on arabic loanwords in persian, not the entirety of persian vocabulary by any means. --68.72.216.130

Move to Loanwords in Persian vocabulary
The current article is about that. Jahangard 20:34, 23 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree that the current article is mostly about loanwords, but I think there should instead just be a section called Loanwords within this article, rather than move the entire article. My main problem with contributing more to this article is the difficulty of getting my hands on reliable sources about Persian vocabulary.  They do exist, though.  –jonsafari 15:37, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

The article claims the majority of leaders of the Islamic state are of non-Persian origin. Does the author have any sources confirming this claim, or is it just a baseless supposition? In fact, the current President of the Islamic Republic, Mahmud Ahmadinezhad, has a pure Persian surname, so I'd like to see any website, book or newspaper article giving confirmation to this remark.

Native word formation
In the table, in the last row, isn't there something missing in the "Components" column? The word at the left is "danandegi", but the last syllable is not written in either English or Persian in the "Components" column.CorinneSD (talk) 22:56, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
 * That is, the "g" sound is missing in the final syllable, in English and in Persian. CorinneSD (talk) 19:37, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
 * It's probably some kind of epenthesis, but I've no knowledge of Persian. — lfdder 19:57, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I know quite a bit of Persian, and "danandegi" is definitely pronounced with the hard g sound, as in the first syllable of the English word "geezer". CorinneSD (talk) 22:05, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, but (I presume) the 'normative' suffix is -i. It only acquires an epenthetic 'g' in that environment. That is why it's not indicated inside the components cell. — lfdder 23:20, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
 * See p. 7 (159) here ('Latent [g]') -- the author describes it as 'hiatus-resolving'. By the way, I've no opinion on whether it should be indicated in the table. I'm just trying to explain why I think it wasn't there in the first place. — lfdder 23:40, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
