General
The primary differences between Standard Persian and Hazaragi are the accent and Hazaragi's greater array of Mongolic loanwords. Despite these differences, Hazaragi is mutually intelligible with other regional Persian dialects.
Academic estimates of the Hazaragi-speaking population range from 1.8 to over 2.2 million speakers.

Famous quotes containing the word general:
“It was the words “descended into Hades”
That seemed too pagan to our liberal youth.

And well, if they weren’t true why keep right on
Saying them like the heathen? We could drop them.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“We have seen over and over that white male historians in general have tended to dismiss any history they didn’t themselves write, on the grounds that it is unserious, unscholarly, a fad, too “political,” “merely” oral and thus unreliable.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“He who never sacrificed a present to a future good or a personal to a general one can speak of happiness only as the blind do of colors.”
