Apologies in advance, but someone asked what I meant. "Persian" is a Greek
exonym--a word people use to describe others that are not them. Just like
saying "Germany" instead of "Deutschland",  or saying "Japan" instead of
"Nihon" or "日本".

Not offensive, but not the word they use to describe their own
land/language/people.

thanks,
Rob
