In the 19th century, under the [[Qajar dynasty]], the dialect that is spoken in [[Tehran]] rose to prominence. There was still substantial Arabic vocabulary, but many of these words have been integrated into Persian phonology and grammar. In addition, under the Qajar rule, numerous [[Russian language|Russian]], [[French language|French]], and English terms entered the Persian language, especially vocabulary related to technology.

The first official attentions to the necessity of protecting the Persian language against foreign words, and to the standardization of [[Persian alphabet|Persian orthography]], were under the reign of [[Naser al-Din Shah Qajar|Naser ed Din Shah]] of the [[Qajar dynasty]] in 1871.{{Citation needed|date=October 2014}} After Naser ed Din Shah, [[Mozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar|Mozaffar ed Din Shah]] ordered the establishment of the first Persian association in 1903.<ref name="Farhangestan"/> This association officially declared that it used Persian and [[Arabic]] as acceptable sources for coining words. The ultimate goal was to prevent books from being printed with wrong use of words. According to the executive guarantee of this association, the government was responsible for wrongfully printed books. Words coined by this association, such as ''rāh-āhan'' ({{lang|fa|راه‌آهن}}) for "railway", were printed in ''Soltani Newspaper''; but the association was eventually closed due to inattention.{{Citation needed|date=October 2014}}

A scientific association was founded in 1911, resulting in a dictionary called ''Words of Scientific Association'' ({{lang|fa|لغت انجمن علمی}}), which was completed in the future and renamed ''Katouzian Dictionary'' ({{lang|fa|فرهنگ کاتوزیان}}).<ref>{{cite book |title=برنامه‌ریزی زبان فارسی |publisher=روایت فتح |isbn=978-600-6128-05-4 |author=نگار داوری اردکانی |page=33 |year=1389}}</ref>
