See 𐭠𐭩𐭥𐭠𐭭 (ʾērān) for word formation, further etymology and cognates. The name of the political entity is a 3rd-century development that derives from the indigenous ethnolinguistic name of the Iranian peoples, i.e. the great variety of Iranian tribes that spoke an Iranian language. === Pronunciation === (UK) IPA(key): /ɪˈɹɑːn/, /ɪˈɹæn/, /iː-/ (US) IPA(key): /ɪˈɹɑn/, /ɪˈɹæn/, (proscribed) /aɪˈɹæn/ Rhymes: -ɑːn, -æn === Proper noun === Iran A country in West Asia in the Middle East.

"One certain fact is the occurrence of geographical names [Bactria, Sogdiana, etc] in Vendidad I, which are obviously intended to describe the earliest homes of the Iranian races whose lore was the Avesta." ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== Iranian ==== Translations ==== === See also === Persia (archaic exonym) === References === === Anagrams === Rina, rani, Nair, rain, ARNI, Rain, arni, NIRA, Rian, ARIN, airn, RNAi, Rani, Arin == Afrikaans == === Pronunciation === === Proper noun === Iran Iran (a country in West Asia in the Middle East; capital: Teheran) ==== Derived terms ==== Iraniër Irannees Irans == Albanian == === Proper noun === Iran m (definite Irani) Iran (a country in West Asia in the Middle East) ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== iranian, iraniane == Basque == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /iɾan/ [i.ɾãn] Rhymes: -iɾan, -an Hyphenation: I‧ran === Proper noun === Iran inan Iran (a country in West Asia in the Middle East) ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== ==== See also ==== == Breton == === Proper noun === Iran ?

In this case, the genitive usually is des Iran, although des Irans is also correct: die Hauptstadt des Iran(s) – "the capital of Iran". ==== Derived terms ==== Iraner iranisch ==== Related terms ==== Iranier === See also === Persien === Further reading === “Iran” in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache == Indonesian == === Etymology === From Persian ایران (irân), from Middle Persian 𐭠𐭩𐭥𐭠𐭭 (ʾērān, “of the Aryans”).
