27915 Zoroastrian Dari 1000-9999 "Dari is among Iran's most immediately imperiled languages. According to one estimate, there are only 8,000-15,000 speakers (see Ethnologue), though we believe the number to be much smaller. That number will likely decrease rapidly in coming generations, however, as parents are speaking to their children in Persian, the national language of Iran, rather than in Dari. Already, only a small proportion of Iran's Zoroastrian population speaks Dari." The Dari Language Project On 1000-9999
