I think we should provide an alias "persian" as well. According to
many (especially Persian scholars), this is the preferred English
name of the language, and the use of "farsi" is discouraged.
See, for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Academy_of_Persian_Language_and_Literature
So I propose
Index: language.fa.dat
===================================================================
--- language.fa.dat (revision 3572)
+++ language.fa.dat (working copy)
@@ -1 +1,2 @@
farsi zerohyph.tex
+=persian
Anyone opposed to this?
