Dari is the term officially recognized and promoted since 1964 by the Afghan government for the Persian language, hence, it is also known as Afghan Persian in many Western sources . This has resulted in a naming dispute . Many Persian speakers in Afghanistan prefer and use the name "Farsi" and say the term Dari has been forced on them by the dominant Pashtun ethnic group as an attempt to distance Afghans from their cultural, linguistic, and historical ties to the Persian - speaking world, which includes Iran and Tajikistan . </P> <P> As defined in the Constitution of Afghanistan, it is one of the two official languages of Afghanistan; the other is Pashto . Dari is the most widely spoken language in Afghanistan and the native language of approximately 15--30% of the population, serving as the country's lingua franca . The Iranian and Afghan types of Persian are mutually intelligible, with differences found primarily in the vocabulary and phonology . </P>
