Language interference or the blend of two languages is a distinctive feature that relates both Persian and Arabic. Emergence of Islam in Iran established a closed and deep connection between these two languages. This connection resulted in a collateral effect especially in the lexical aspects; this means that the involved words or loanwords exchanged between the two languages signified that the Arabic loanwords are far greater in number than Persian ones. Although some words maintained their phonological and written form, there are many other words that have been changed over the centuries in terms of meaning and usage. In some cases, the written form has stayed the same but is considered completely different in terms of linguistic signs. This creates problems for the translators. The present paper aims to employ field experiments design analysis and interpretation to present general and new categories of involved Arabic words and distinguish the effective aspects of each category in translation. It also endeavors to demonstrate that translating from Arabic into Persian, despite the many involved words, may be helpful; however, considering their semantic transformation and functional differences or the distinctiveness of the other group, deviation may happen in finding equivalents.
