IPA: [paɾ.ˈt͡ʃam] [Classical-Persian], [pʰäɾ.t͡ʃʰǽm] [Dari, formal], [pʰäɾ.t͡ʃʰǽm] [Dari, formal], [pʰäɾ.t͡ʃʰǽm] [Kabuli], [pʰäɾ.t͡ʃʰǽm] (note: Hazaragi), [pʰæɹ.t͡ʃʰǽm] [Iran, formal], [pʰäɾ.t͡ʃʰǽm] [Tajik, formal] Forms: parčam [romanization], پرچمها [plural]
Etymology: Early attestations in Persian include Anvārī and Khāqānī from the mid-1100s. A Wanderwort of unknown origin, but probably immediately borrowed from Oghuz. The Arabic-Turkic dictionary Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk, written in 1074, gives [script needed] (berčem) as the Oghuz word for "the tail of a wild ox that warriors wear on the day of battle," with [script needed] (bečkem) as the Karakhanid equivalent. Compare Wakhi bičkám (“horse or goat tail”). The original meaning is "hair on the yak-tail standard", identical to the Turkic meaning. For unclear reasons, this word was promoted over existing words for "flag," including both the Arabic loan علم (alam) and the native word درفش (derafš), during the early twentieth-century language purification reforms. It is now the most common word for "flag".
