As far as I know, Farsi (originally Parsi) and Persian are considered as Indo-Iranian languages, a major portion of the Indo-European group. Where did you find "Indo Germanic?" Wikipedia?
You're both right and wrong. Farsi and Persian is the same language, but it does not belong to the Indo-Germanic group, but the Indo-Iranian group (as does Ossetian btw Alan, the Ossetians being desendants of the Alans). HJ is correct that our languages (Dutch, German, English) belong to the Indo-Germanic group, and both the Indo-Iranian and the Indo-Germanic group are subgroups of the larger Indo-European group.
