@mur2501 @calculsoberic @stux OOps sorry, this is arabic song, but Siraj sound more persian.

@popolon
I know a little bit of Farsi as well as Arabic and both are very different languages to confuse (even though the writing script is similar). Siraj (or Shiraz) is a name in both Persians and Arabs, though yeah it is common with Persians more I think Arabs took the name during the Islamic conquest of Persia (as well as Persians took Arab words and names).

By the way Farsi is not just limited to Iran, Farsi is also the spoken as well as official language of Afghanistan and Tajikistan.
Interestingly, In Tajikistan Farsi is written in the Cyrillic (Russian) script instead of the Arabic script used in Iran and Afghanistan.

@mur2501 @calculsoberic @stux And in China, there is a Tadjik community in Xinjiang, that keep Noruz festival tradition, and that's recognized as one of the official 56 nationalities of China. Kurdish spoke in Iraq, Syria and,Turkey is also an Iranian language. I don't know if that's mutually understandable.

Anyway the speaking sound of Farsi is really different of Arabian for sure, even if I know only few words in those two languages, it's really easy to distinguish them, perhaps due to several good friends in both language communities. I only ear the Arabian part of the song after writing the post. I still need to not answer to quickly ^^.
