Iranian leader bans usage of foreign words 11 minutes ago



Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has ordered government and cultural bodies to use modified Persian words to replace foreign words that have crept into the language, such as "pizzas" which will now be known as "elastic loaves," state media reported Saturday.

The presidential decree, issued earlier this week, orders all governmental agencies, newspapers and publications to use words deemed more appropriate by the official language watchdog, the Farhangestan Zaban e Farsi, or Persian Academy, the Irna official news agency reported.

The academy has introduced more than 2,000 words as alternatives for some of the foreign words that have become commonly used in Iran, mostly from Western languages. The government is less sensitive about Arabic words, because the Quran is written in Arabic.

Among other changes, a "chat" will become a "short talk" and a "cabin" will be renamed awill be renamed a "small room," according to official Web site of the academy.

Last time I looked at least our attempts to use foreign words to him - like democracy, liberty and taco

[Rohirrim]

Freedom Fries, anybody? Yeah, the Iranian people will go along with this. Just like the French have gone along with their governments' xenophobic push to get American phrases out of France or the pissants in Washington trying to ban anything "French." Effin troglodytes. That's what I love about language. The last bastion of free expression. People will do with language whatever they want.

[W*GS]

Using "Freedom Fries" wasn't mandated by law. It was more silly than anything else.

Comparing Bush to Irans President? Out of touch much?

[enjolras]

Nothing the French haven't been doing for centuries... I'm not defending the Iranian president, just pointing out that this particular piece of news is a tempest in a teapot at best.

Ohh ya, and at this point lets keep in mind that Bush is fundamentally responsible for thousands of more deaths than this guy. Lilke it or not, he has more blood on his hands.

Well considering the Iranian president believes the Holocaust was a hoax, I wouldn't want to give him a chance to catch up.

to extent that is unimaginable to rational human mind. It far worse then anyone could image. I couldn't sleep for days after visiting one of the camps and seeing the pictures. IF you have a chance bring your family to DC and see the Holocaust museum. Just make sure your kids are old enough.

I agree. I spent a week in Poland and remember almost every minute. Nothing can prepare a person to see stuff like that, even after 50 plus years.

Spider - don't doubt the magnitude, no matter how uncomprehensible it may seem.

That museum was incredible. Probably one of the real "Must Visits" when in DC.

Very disturbing to say the least to see the displays and info they had on the ground floor of the museum.

Compare to the actually camps it a walk in the park.

Hopefully you got to see the spy museum too. That is really cool.

A truly memorable post bfrom you, spider... it's as if you're suddenly an Ahmadenijad apologist. C'mon now, how hard is it to do some research on the Holocaust to verify the extent of its validity?
I recommend reading the novel Babi Yar, by Anatoli Kusnetzov, which details the horrors inflicted upon the Jewish community of Kiev during WWII by the Germans. The author was a young boy when the atrocities he wrote of occurred. An astounding work depicting the horrors of war affecting a civilian population.

That makes the french crazy too. They actually have a government agency whose job is to identify anglo words that have crept into common usage in france and find words from medieval french to replace them. I believe it is the law there that, in official communications, you have to use the officially sanctioned french word.

You are correct.

[mhgaffney]

Yah, well I'm not 100% convinced that everything we've heard about Iranian PM Ahmdinejad is true. Remember, his statements were passed through a translation filter. There's at least some reason to think the filter did not communicate his meaning.

Check this out for a closer look

So learn the language so you can get his despicable comments correct.

Geez, just how far are you willing to rationalize away such stinking nonsense as what Ahmadinejad has repeatedly said?

A former partner of mine was in OSS in WWII. The German lines collapsed at the end of the war and he was ordered to scout ahead. He drove into Germany in a Jeep with a small detachment. They came on one of the concentration camps by sheer chance. He saw it with his own eyes and took pictures with a crummy little camera. He showed me his pictures. Grainy b&w's that were more horrible than anything I have ever seen. The official pictures came later and are in a lot of ways less horrifying because they were taken by professional photographers who framed their shots properly, had themes etc.

I don't want to believe it. But how can any sane person doubt that something hideous and gigantic happened to the Jews in Nazi Germany?

My friend is dead and the rest of his generation is dying. All the eyewitnesses will be gone in ten years--all that will remain are pictures and the families who never met 3/4th's of their uncles and aunts because they didn't get out of Europe soon enough.

Anti-semitism is such a strange thing. It's been one of the few constants in Western Civilization for centuries. Every 50-100 years, a bunch of Jews die for no special reason. I'm a Christian and it is the darkest stain on the history of my faith. And then, a few years later, along come the folks who claim it never happened, or, if it did, it was exaggerated as some Jewish plot.

At least only certifiable lunatics like Noam Chomsky still deny the horrors of Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot--most folks on the left will try to change the subject but, if pushed, will admit that their former heros were probably monsters. But for some reason, one doesn't have to be a lunatic to buy into the "the Holocaust was overstated" crap--it's getting close to mainstream. And in 20 years, it will be mainstream.

The other thing that's strange about it is it makes really odd bedfellows. Skinheads and the certifiable Left in America don't agree on too much. But they agree on that. If Muslims ever impose Sharia here or in Europe, the first ones to go will be some of the client groups of the left. But they and the Muslims see eye-to-eye about the Jews. It's really weird.
