Potentially inaccurate information about Iranian tribes

Different tribes are named as Iranian tribes with no references. Please either cite a prominent resource or remove that part.

Revising the section on the history of Western vs. Eastern Iranian peoples

I would suggest revising the sections on the history of Eastern and Western Iranian peoples. Firstly, the division into Eastern and Western is a linguistic one and not necessarily the best way to distinguish between different cultural groups. In fact, the section on Eastern Iranian peoples includes only Steppe-Iranian peoples who spoke languages that are categorised as Eastern but lived north or even west of the Western Iranians and are culturally very different from the Iranian peoples in the eastern part of the Iranian plateau. Moreover, Avestan is not an eastern Iranian language, but is so old that it preceded the division is west vs. east. Secondly, it is the people who lived in the eastern parts of Greater Iran who gave their name to this somewhat confusing category, but they are absent from this part of the article. Thirdly, I would suggest adding a section on the Avestan people who actually lived in the eastern part of Greater Iran and are not yet covered in this article. Kjansen86 (talk)

Persian was spoken in court in the Ottoman Empire?

Whats the source of this claim? Or is this another Persian propaganda? Crxyzen (talk) 18:17, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Kindly read WP:AGF. What exactly is "another Persian propaganda"?

• "As the Ottoman Turks learned Persian, the language and the culture it carried seeped not only into their court and imperial institutions but also into their vernacular language and culture. The appropriation of Persian, both as a second language and as a language to be steeped together with Turkish, was encouraged notably by the sultans, the ruling class, and leading members of the mystical communities." -- Inan, Murat Umut (2019) "Imperial Ambitions, Mystical Aspirations: Persian Learning in the Ottoman World" in Green, Nile (ed.). The Persianate World: The Frontiers of a Eurasian Lingua Franca. University of California Press. pp. 88–89.
• "Persian served as a ‘minority’ prestige language of culture at the largely Turcophone Ottoman court." -- Baki Tezcan. (2012). "Ottoman Historical Writing" in José Rabasa (ed). The Oxford History of Historical Writing: Volume 3: 1400-1800 The Oxford History of Historical Writing: Volume 3: 1400-1800 . pp. 192–211
