Rather than viewing this as an attempt to keep the language of Iranians 'pure', it is an effort in preserving Iranian self-determination against the cultural hegemony of English. Good one, ah?

I understand that some people feel their culture, way of life, language is threatened by the seemingly omnipresent American English. But all of these languages contain myriad words borrowed from others. "Shai" for tea is but one example. These attempts to protect a "pure language," then, are ultimately going to fail, IMO. I'm guessing elastic b/c of the process by which the crust is made out of the dough. Salaams:
