Parsi has been used as a name for several languages of South Asia and Iran, some of them spurious:

Parsi, an alternative spelling of Farsi, the Persian language.
Parsi, the variety spoken by the Parsis of Gujarat and Maharashtra in India. It is taken to be a separate language by Ethnologue and assigned the ISO 639-3 code [prp]. Glottolog treats it as spurious, as the Parsis do not have a distinct language but speak a dialect of Gujarati.^[1]
Parsi-Dari, a supposed language spoken by Zoroastrians in Iran. Ethnologue assigns it the ISO 639-3 code [prd], but Glottolog considers it spurious and a duplicate of the Zoroastrian Dari language [gbz].^[2]
Parsi, a name occasionally used by speakers of Indo-Aryan languages of northern India to refer to speech forms they do not understand. It has been attested, among others, for Santali^[3] and Mal Paharia.^[4] It has frequently been used in reference to the secret languages of some social groups,^[3] for example that of the Bazigar people of north-west India.^[5]
