Dari features several sounds that are not found in English, such as guttural sounds like 'خ' (kh) and 'غ' (gh). Pronunciation also varies between Dari and Persian, especially in terms of vowel sounds and stress.

Dari uses a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) sentence structure. It has a highly inflected verb system, with verbs conjugated for tense, aspect, mood, and voice. The language also uses postpositions (as opposed to prepositions) and relies heavily on context for understanding certain nuances.

Dari has numerous loanwords from Arabic, Turkish, Mongolian, and increasingly English, especially in modern contexts.

Dari is a member of the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family, closely related to Persian (Farsi) and Tajik.

Dari is written in the Perso-Arabic script, a variant of the Arabic script with additional letters to accommodate Persian sounds such as 'پ' (p), 'چ' (ch), and 'ژ' (zh).

The Persian script has been in use for centuries in the region. The Dari script has remained largely unchanged, although recent developments have seen more English and international influence in technical and academic writing.

There are approximately 12 to 15 million native speakers of Dari, making it the second most widely spoken language in Afghanistan, alongside Pashto.
