>the revolving door of rulers and dynasties that ruled Iran between the Sassanids and the Safavids, permanently stunting its economic and demographic growth
>>2680483
To be honest, famlam, once the Abbassids came to power the Islamic Arab Caliphate was more or less dependent on Iranic soldiers, generals, and governors up until the Turkics came in. Iranian Intermezzo period is pretty important for a reason, also a lot of interesting dynasties showed up.

Once Islam came Iran was doomed to irrelevance just like every country Islam over-runs.

Different people lad, sassanid was pure iranians while safavid was mixed people

A very arabized persian culture
>>2681764
>Iranic soldiers
They didnt exist in those times, brother
>>2682641
But that's wrong. The Abbassids declined is signified by the rise of all those Iranian kingdoms and mini-empires and the Caliphate's increasing reliance on Iranic and Turkic soldiers and mercenaries.
>>2682630
The Safavids were a primarily Iranic dynasty.
The Sassanids were a primarily Iranic specifically Persian dynasty.
What does this have to do with peoples in particular in Iran/Persia?
>>2682635
Define "Arabization". Last I checked, most other cultures and ethnic groups in the Near East and North Africa that were "Arabized" lost their original languages, view of their ethnicity being distinct from Arabs/Bedouins, and so on. That's not the case with Iranian culture so why are you saying that?
>>2681873
why do I have to feel those feels, bro?
>>2682735
nah he's right, iranians are very arabianized
they are not fully arabianized like north africa and mesopotamia, yes, they are unique and iranic, but still heavily arabianized, a huge chunk of their vocabulary is arab, most of their names are arab, native words arabianized(example: farsi instead of parsi)
not that it matters though, iran is still great and unique
>>2684893
>Language
>Mattering
Arabs never had the population to usurp any ethnicity outside of Arabia. Linguistfags get bent.
>>2684907
we're talking about culture, idiot, no one mentioned the ethnicity of iranians

>Define "Arabization". Last I checked, most other cultures and ethnic groups in the Near East and North Africa that were "Arabized" lost their original languages, view of their ethnicity being distinct from Arabs/Bedouins,

I know /his/ can't read, but this is sad.
>>2684893
>Iranians are very Arabianized
Proof?
>heavily Arabianized
Proof?
>Huge chunk of their vocabulary is arab
No it isn't. That's only in written lexicon and even then Persian languages regarded additional creation of more letters in the Perso-Arabic script because it has more vowels and consosants then Arabic does, so wrong there as well.
>most of their names are Arab
No they aren't. Where is your proof?
>Native words Arabianized
>Farsi instead of Parsi
That's not Arabization, do you even know what you are talking about?
>>2684893
>huge chunk of their vocabulary is arab
Not really lol.
>most of their names are arab
Most names in Iran are based off pre-Islamic Iranian and Persian names from their folklore, the Book of Kings, and so on as well. Not saying there aren't Arabic names for Iranians but the majority are not that.

40-45% of modern persian lexicon is arabic
you cannot say a sentence in farsi without at least one word being arabic in origin
>>2686161
>40-45%
Try about 30% at most.
>>2686255
sources say 40-45%, your ass says 30%
>>2686161
>>2686255
>>2686259
Written ! = spoken
Also where are the sources for either of your claims? 45-50% of Arabic loan words and lexicon were up inflitrated into the Persian language by about the late 11th/early 12th century, but it has gradually been and continually to this day declining, hence why 40% is the maximum accepted influence of Arabic in Persian/Farsi today.

Imperialization of the Middle East was a mistake. Bronze age and Iron age Middle East was a lot like Medieval Europe. What makes European and East Asian history so fascinating is reading about the similar but distinct kingdoms/states compete against each other, producing great battles, men and culture. Everything from Pelagsius to decolonization, you can summerize Middle Eastern history as just one empire reigning supreme until it stagnates and dies over and over again, with the worst offenders being the Ottomans.
>>2686295
John R. Perry in his article "Lexical Areas and Semantic Fields of Arabic" estimates that about 40 percent of an everyday vocabulary of 20,000 words in current Persian, and more than 50 percent of the vocabulary of classical and modern Persian literature, are of Arabic origin.

>>2686311
>>2686318
Any academic/political/economic/religious work will definitely be 40%+ Arabic.
The most common everyday words are Persian in origin, such as the words for water, most body parts, numbers... but plenty will also be of Arabic origin, such as the most common word for food, mathematical functions, tons of adjectives.
In some cases using the Persian instead of the Arabic comes across as haughty. Definitely if another Iranian greeted me with Dorood instead of Salam I'd think he has a stick up his ass. Likewise with saying Sepas Gozaram instead of Merci (French) or Tashakkur (Arabic).
>>2687923
Iranian here, I can confirm this is untrue. Your more likely to meet people with ethnic Iranian names then Arabic ones, like 6.5 out of 10 times edging out Arab ones.
Also can point out only one member in my immediate family has an Arab sounding name and even that is Reza, which is an Arabic name that is almost *entirely* used by Iranians as its appropriation.
And some of the most common first names in Iran are names like Shapur, Khosrow, Darius, Shahin Shayeen, etc...
