Persian is one of the official languages of both Sunnistan and Navi Bharat. In Navi Bharat it is used heavily by the very learned classes, and is held in the same regard as Latin in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is also the official language of the Sufi sects of Islam.
In Sunnistan, Persian is one of the official 'Languages of the People,' spoken by the small, educated Persian minority, as well as by the heavily persecuted Chishti sects in the east of the nation. For this reason, there is a dichotomy in the acceptance of Persian- some view it as a language of the educated, some as a language of the downtrodden.
