...breaking my back just to know your name...

The cultural debate, let's get it on. Spurred by a comment left by Roba, I'm interested to toss it out at the rest of you.

The question is - Farsi or Parsi?

I have always heard Farsi. My family says Farsi. Everyone I know says Farsi. In Persian school, when we would write the word, we spelled it "Farsi" - "phe" not "pe" character used.

Roba's argument: Farsi is an Arab creation as they did not have the "p" sound in their alphabet.

I know we have a lot of Iranians out here who can shed some light - so umm... shed.
