Baba Tahir. Hello. I just want to make sure that Baba TAhir is NOT persian, he is KURDISH and th ehistory proves it.
-
- His poems can be understood by Persian, Lak, Lur, most Kurdish dialect speakers. They are referred to as Fahlaviyat (middle Persian dialects). --alidoostzadeh 17:12, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
- Firstly there is a story about Baba Tahir where he wakes up and suddenly can speak arabic. He says: "Last night I was a Kurd and this morning I have become an Arab."
- Secondly, it is true that he wrote in both Kurdish (of the Laki dialect), Luri and Persian. However the article states that Baba Tahir Himself was a Persian. Also, some of the poems cited are also in Kurdish, although only reference to the persian language is mentioned!
