'''Hui language (Huihui Persian, Hui Parsi, پارسئ هوی)''' is the initial form of modern Persian in Central Asia, specifically [[Early New Persian]]. It was widely used by the [[Hui people]] during the Yuan and early Ming dynasties, with institutions like the Huihui Guozijian established for the translation and teaching of Huihui language. Later, due to the assimilation policies of the Ming dynasty, its usage shifted from a spoken language to a written language in [[Jingtang Jiaoyu]] (the educational system of Hui people in their mosques). The Persian words in contemporary Hui dialects are remnants of Huihui language, featuring distinct phonetic characteristics and vocabulary habits.

In modern times, many scholars have conducted extensive research on Huihui Persian. Notable figures include Professor Liu Yingsheng from Nanjing University and Professor Hu Zhenhua from Minzu University of China. Additionally, there are countless scholars in the community engaged in this research. According to historical records, the pronunciation of Huihui Persian was close to that of contemporary Tajiki, with slight differences from the Tehran dialect of Iran, primarily in the [[vowel]] sounds.
