Farsi (Iranian) Months
Tuesday, January 6th, 2009
It has been a long time since I made a Learn Farsi post. Following are months of the Iranian calendar in Farsi:
Iranian calendar is an astronomical solar calendar and and one of the longest chronological records in history. The first day of the year is the first day of Spring (approximately March 21st of each year). For that reason, Iranian months don’t exactly correspond to different months in Gregorian calendar.
The corresponding days are estimates and not very accurate. Following are some good resources:
- Iranian Calendar
- Iranian Calendar application on Google tools.
- Iranian Calendar Firefox add-on.
