But can you please call our language "Persian" instead of "Farsi" when speaking in English? The less often Westerners hear the word "Persian", the less likely they will be to remember to say "Persian Gulf". They just keep calling it "The Gulf" and eventually "The Arabian Gulf". It has become so bad that some people don't even know what "Persian" is anymore. The name of a language is the most common thing associated with a nation. There must be some connection between "Persians" and the gulf calleld "Persian Gulf". Otherwise, what claim would we have to it? Our country is called Iran, not Persia anymore. We are called Iranian, not Persian anymore.

The only connection we have left to our "Persianness" is the name of our language. So why call it Farsi? Can you please change it in this post and in the title? Please tell others to use Persian instead of Farsi too?

Not all Westerners as you so put it aren’t all ignorant!! Nice generalization, perhaps you should think about your wording next time, as Westerners!!!
