Yet despite its recognition as a shared language across the Islamic world and beyond, its scope, impact, and mechanisms remain underexplored. A world historical inquiry into pre-modern cosmopolitanism, The Persianate World traces the reach and limits of Persian as a Eurasian language in a comprehensive survey of its geographical, literary, and social frontiers. From Siberia to Southeast Asia, and between London and Beijing, this book shows how Persian gained, maintained, and finally surrendered its status to imperial and vernacular competitors. Fourteen essays trace Persian's interactions with Bengali, Chinese, Turkic, Punjabi, and other languages to identify the forces that extended "Persographia," the domain of written Persian. Spanning the ages of expansion and contraction, The Persianate World offers a critical survey of both the supports and constraints of one of history's key languages of global exchange. 606 $aLiterature & literary studies$2bicssc 606 $aHistory$2bicssc 610 $abeijing. 610 $abengali. 610 $achinese. 610 $aeurasian language. 610 $ageographical. 610 $aimperial. 610 $aislamic world. 610 $alanguage. 610 $aliterary. 610 $alondon. 610 $apersian. 610 $apersographia. 610 $apre modern cosmopolitanism. 610 $apunjabi. 610 $ashared language. 610 $asiberia. 610 $asocial frontiers. 610 $asoutheast asia. 610 $aturkic. 610 $aunder explored language. 610 $avernacular competitors. 610 $aworld historical inquiry. 610 $aworld history. 610 $awritten persian. 615 7$aLiterature & literary studies 615 7$aHistory 676 $a491/.5509 702 $aGreen$b Nile, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996328038003316 996 $aThe Persianate World$92218122 997 $aUNISA
