—noted that the English word
airplane was creeping into the Iranian language. The academy's linguists successfully replaced it with the Persian word
havapeyma. They have had less luck with
helicopter and
cabin, which are still used regularly instead of their Persian substitutes,
charkh-baal and
kabin. In 2006, the academy
drew much ridicule when it tried to reterm
pizza as, literally, "elastic loaves." Borrowing occurs in the other direction, too. The words
azure,
chess,
cummerbund,
jasmine,
pagoda,
pajamas, and
salamander all come from Persian.
