I'm putting together a flash card deck of world languages and I can't seem to find these on a dictionary I trust. I have Persian as "persa" but I would like a word for Farsi.

According to this:
Hindi = la hindia [lingvo]
Urdu = Urduo
Tamil = la tamila [lingvo]
Farsi = la persa [lingvo]

Thanks for the link! I'm guessing Urdu is probably Urdua though. Aug 27, 2016 at 22:39

2@KyleBailey Some languages whose name isn't based on a people or the name of a country have their own word root and so end in o. For example Esperanto and Latino. According to PMEG Urdu also falls into this category. bertilow.com/pmeg/gramatiko/propraj_nomoj/…– Neil Roberts ♦Aug 28, 2016 at 6:50

@NeilRoberts Interesting, I didn't know that. I imagine in casual speech you will find many people falling into overregularization and saying "la urdua", that's certainly what I would have done.– Kat ÑoOct 10, 2016 at 19:16
