In previous episodes we discussed how the name Iran, not Persia is actually the historic and correct name of the Iranian nation and civilization. 

However, in this episode I’ll be making the case that when it comes to referring to the Persian language, the correct word in English is in fact Persian, not Farsi. Farsi is only the correct word--when you're speaking in Persian.
