Many languages share common roots, but throughout history, many languages have greatly influenced each other.

French is one of the languages that has many similarities with English, as both are derived from Latin. After the conquest of England by the Duke of Normandy in the 11th century, he insisted on replacing the English language with French. In fact, he succeeded to some extent in changing the language of the court, law, and culture of the time to French. As a result, many linguistic similarities were left in the English language. Approximately 27% of English vocabulary is shared with French. While the pronunciation of common words between these two languages may differ, their spelling is often similar.

On the other hand, with the migration of students to France during the Qajar period and their studies there, many French words entered the Persian language. Over time, French words have become an integral part of Persian, making it difficult to distinguish them. Below is a table of some similar words in Persian, English, and French.
