Persian or Farsi?!
Farsi is the 'Arabized' equivalent for 'Parsi'. Since there is no /p/ sound in Arabic language, the Arabs replaced /p/ of Parsi with /f/ after they invaded Iran. Parsi refers to Persia and means 'of Persia' or 'of Iran', the English version of which is Persian, while 'Farsi' conveys no message about the background of Iran (known as Persia in history).

Personally, I like to call it Persian as a term for the language in general. To me, Farsi is only used when referring to the Iranian dialect of Persian, rather than Dari from Afghanistan or Tajik from Tajikistan.
