This "cartogram" map from Worldmapper shows the number of Farsi and Dari speakers in the world.
The Farsi and Dari languages are spoken by around 30 million people. Farsi is the local name for the Persian language in Iran and Dari for the language in Afghanistan. The two dialects differ in the way that say British and American English do - accent and some vocabulary items.
