We all recall the tickers rolling across the bottom of our television screens asking speakers of Arabic, Farsi, and Pashto to come forward. |
Most were in Arabic, but some were in French, Farsi, English or Malay, written in an elliptical and evolving system of code words. |
The Farsi sounded a bit muddy to me at times, but that may be a reflection of local dialects. |
Speakers of African language Lingala, Persian language Farsi, Lithuanian and Somali are among those needed. |
According to this article, the government is in need of a few translators of Arabic, Farsi, and Pashto. |
Some speak Farsi, while others speak Brahui, a member of the Dravidian, pre-Aryan, language group of India. |
