<P> Dari is a term long recommended by Afghan authorities to designate the Persian dialects spoken in Afghanistan , in contrast to the dialects spoken in neighboring Iran . Although still widely known as `` Farsi '' ( `` Persian '' ) to its native speakers , the name was officially changed to Dari in 1964 . Dari must not be confused with the dialect of Kabul , which is the dominant Persian dialect in Afghanistan . Apart from a few basics of vocabulary , however ( and more Indo - Persian calligraphic styles in the Perso - Arabic script ) , there is little difference between formal written Persian of Afghanistan and of Iran . The term Dari is often loosely used for the characteristic spoken Persian of Afghanistan -- in general the dialect of Kabul -- but is best restricted to formal spoken registers ( poetry , speeches , newscasts , and other broadcast announcements ) . </P>
