In the previous post, I wrote that the Arabic language that we use today contains many words that are of foreign origins, especially in spoken dialects.  In this post, I present some words that are of Persian or Farsi origin.

بخت (bakht) = luck/fortune

بيجامة (Bijama) = Pyjamas

تنورة (tannoura) = skirt

باذنجان (bathinjan) = aubergine

فهرست (fihrist) = list of contents of a book

تدشين (tadsheen) = launching or inauguration

أسطوانة (Ustowanah) = record or disc

مهرجان (mihrajan) = festival

أطلس (Atlas) = Atlas

أستاذ (Ustath) = teacher

سراب (sarab) = mirage

بازار (bazaar) = market

برشامة (birshama) = pill (tablet)

Most of these words are used in colloquial dialects, though some of them have already established their status in written Arabic like أطلس, أستاذ, سراب, فهرست; whereas words like برشامة and بخت are mainly used in spoken dialects.
