Farsi, also called Persian. Persian is an ancient language spoken by over sixty million people, mainly in Iran, formerly called Persia. According to Acts 2:9 there were Persians, Parthians and Medes among the very first new Christian converts at Pentecost. Since then there has been a continuous presence of Christians amongst the Persians, initially as part of the Nestorian Church of the East.

A revision was published in 1896, now known as the Old Version (OV). A Common Language translation was published in 1976. Bible work is done by the Bible Society in Iran.
