Google translate doesn't have Farsi, but it gives the same transliteration for Dari, Persian, and whatever it means by just "Arabic" (MSA?): تاکو

I don't know why Google translate doesn't clarify, but Persian is Farsi my dude.

Fwiw, Persian/Farsi, Dari, and Tajik are all closely related, even intelligible, variants of Persian, and Indo-European, so, related to Hindi and European languages. Arabic, or, rather, Modern Standard Arabic, has a bunch of variants spoken throughout MENA, is a semitic language, and is related to Hebrew and Ethiopian.
