pronounced ah-jahm (stretch out the -ah in "Jahm")

A racial slur by arabs to describe persians, roughly translated as "one who is not arab." First used during the arab conquest of the indo-aryan territories. Is taken highly offensively and is highly similar to nigger, however persians strictly do not call each other ajams.

Words you can keep
An offensive term for anyone who's not an Arab. Can be used non-offensively as well.

Literally translated to "mute", used as such because Arabs considered people whose language they couldn't understand to be mute.

With the growing prominence of Arabs due to the spread of Islam, the term began to sting a lot when applied on anyone. It began to be associated particularly with Iranians after the conquest of the Sassanid Empire by the Rashidun Caliphate. To add in the extent of this, the Ottomans started using the word to refer to Persians, even though by Arab standards they themselves would be Ajam. Even now some Iranian muslims willingly call themselves "Ajam".
Jamil: You Iranians do nothing but cope and cry online. We enslaved your people and destroyed your worthless fire-worshipping Pagan civillization. Accept your slave status, Ajam.
Arash: No, you Tazi, we are your masters. We killed your second Caliph, burned down your kaaba and took back control by the time of the Samanids.

Jamil: That doesn't change the fact that our genes have been mixed in you, majoosi. You are our lot
Arash: What genes? Very little genetic infusion happened with Arabs in Iran, you only subdued us for some time before we took revenge. Your time is coming, lizard-eater
