Why is there no Persian or Tajik dub?

[Stingo Springero]

I've always wondered why Persian and Tajik don't have dubs; you would expect Persian due to most shows and films getting dubbed there, but not LazyTown. I believe Tajik subtitles exist, but that's not a dub, and it's most likely very poor quality.

They broadcasted LazyTown on TV in the Russian language in Tajikistan. 90% of the population speaks Russian, at various degrees. Same for Kyrgyzstan. It's probably too difficult to make dubs themselves.

Tajik - the state language - is a variant of the Persian language. Both Russian and Tajik are written in Cyrillic.


Persian is predominantly spoken in:
Iran: Iranian Persian (officially known as Persian, but referred to as Farsi by locals)
Afghanistan: Dari Persian (officially known as Dari)
Tajikistan: Tajiki Persian (officially known as Tajik)

The people in the first too countries are so able to speak Arabic, so they used that dub probably, or just the English.

So that's why only Russian and Arabic.

I always wondered if this video was real or fake. I used to think it was real, but recently I've been thinking about how it could be fake.

I'm not sure. In Iran they used the Arabic way of writing Persian, while in Tajikistan they used the Cyrillic way. It could be a TV channel in Iran (I doubt it's Afghanistan). I'm not familiar with Iran TV stations. I could be just fan made, simple with subtitles.

I recall seeing the video on Vimeo. It was published around 2017 or 2018, which was around the time the meme was popular

Wow. You're absolutely correct. This is the best explanation I've have ever read.

Haha yeah I remembered what you've told me.

I found this Persian language promo of LazyTown:

You can search for the tag: شهر تنبل

Which is LazyTown in Persian language.

Here is a playlist with subtitle videos:

On the fandubdb wiki they made a mistake because it said Persian dub, but they did the Arabic dub:

Yes, you're right. In Bengali language, to make it more confusing.

There is no Persian dub or subs. Most probably it's the English version, or the Arabic one. That is available.

GEM TV is an Iranian group of entertainment satellite channels with its headquarters located in Istanbul, Turkey.
This group also launched various channels in Arabic, Kurdish and Persian to expand its viewers.

It's not an official state TV station with a license to broadcast LazyTown. They broadcast what's available.

I'm pretty sure that LazyTown is used as a language-learning tool for Iranians.

[LazyPooky]

Probably yes.

With a simple Google search I found out that the obesity rate in Iran is rising, so they should make subs, a dub or a voice-over.
