Mahmud Khan Malek al-Sho'ara (Persian: محمودخان ملک الشعرا; 1813–1893/94) was a poet laureate, court painter and statesman in 19th-century Qajar Iran.[1] He was the son of Andalib and grandson of Fath-Ali Khan Saba, the previous poet laureates in the Iranian court.[2]
Contemporary Persian and Classical Persian are the same language, but writers since 1900 are classified as contemporary. At one time, Persian was a common cultural language of much of the non-Arabic Islamic world. Today it is the official language of Iran, Tajikistan and one of the two official languages of Afghanistan.
