came across two packages for Farsi:
arabxtex supports:
arab (Arabic)
farsi (persian)
urdu
sindhi
pashto
ottoman (turk)
kurdish
kashmiri
malay (jawi)
uighur
xepersian supports only Farsi, but adds command names in
Its Persian not Farsi. Farsi is the fake name that arabs give to our
language as they have no p.
I do not comment about xepersian versus arabxetex. since it would not be
fair.
bidi supports hebrew as it is a RTL written language but minor adjustments
needed for typographical details like what

Persian is an English pronunciation, Farsi an Arabic one. Both derive
from the same word. I can't see why one is fake and not the other. Like
