AI overview

Persians are an Iranian ethnic group native to the Iranian plateau who make up the majority of Iran's population and share the Persian language and cultural system. Historically, "Persian" in the West referred to all Iranians broadly, but this shifted in the 20th century to more accurately describe the specific Persian ethnic group.

I Persiani (in persiano فارس‌ها‎, "Fārs hā") sono un popolo del gruppo etnico indoiranico della stirpe indoeuropea che vive principalmente in Iran. Secondo il CIA World Factbook 2004, il 51% dell'attuale popolazione iraniana è di etnia persiana mentre la Biblioteca del Congresso porta la cifra al 65%. Diversi altri gruppi etnici sono rappresentati in Iran, tra cui il gruppo ariano non-persiano dei gilaki (che vivono nella provincia iraniana di Gilan); gli azeri e i turkmeni di discendenza turca, arabi, armeni, baluchi e altre minoranze.
