New Persian - 2025 NAFTA

Packet 3: Bonus 4

The rise of local Saffarid and Tahirid dynasties coincided with a cultural revival that used a new form of this language. For 10 points each:

[10e] The new form of what language used by the Safavids was developed from the dialect spoken in the Parthian Empire?

ANSWER: New Persian [or Farsi or Modern Persian; accept Dari or Tajik]

[10h] This Shia dynasty promoted vernacular Fahlavīyāt poetry but did not officially adopt Dari. Three sons of a fisherman founded this dynasty, which governed through a triumvirate ruled from Shiraz, Baghdad, and Ray.

ANSWER: Buyid dynasty [or the Buyids; accept the Buyid Empire or Buyid Emirates]

[10m] The Samanid dynasty promoted the use of New Persian from this city, its second capital. A Persian-speaking Jewish group was centered on this city, which was the capital of an Uzbek Emirate conquered by Russia.

ANSWER: Bukhara [or Buxoro]
