Ask Kindle Direct Publishing (Amazon) to support Farsi (Persian) Language for publications

Petition:

Nowadays direct publishing of books through online services such as KDP is one of the most effective ways for writers to publish their contents and for readers to find what they like.

However KDP services are not supporting some languages such as Farsi (Persian) and this made lots of troubles for many writers around the world who write in this language.

While Persian culture/literature is and has been one of the greatest throughout the history, it is very unfortunate that Farsi speaking writers can not use KDP services to reach their audiences.

Here we would like to ask Amazon to establish KDP services for Farsi Language as well. This is a huge step to fight censorship and promoting freedom of speech.

I am sorry but as much as I would like to support the idea I simply cannot because of the Farsi/Persian muddle. It is conceited of Iranians to force Farsi on non-Iranians. The introduction of the latinised term Farsi outside Iran was a political act by the Islamic Republic, which it imposed unilaterally. Moreover it caused a split with other Persian speaking nations as they did not want to be associated with this vile regime hence the invention of Dari and Tajik as languages.

I personally use only the word Persian for our language in English and wish the author of this petition had not used the word Farsi. But because he has also used the word Persian I let it go for the good cause of the petition.
