Atawolf, the Safavid court and military language was Turkic. Persian was the administrative language.
Basically, you can divide it along these three lines.
Do you think your being smart, dumbarse?
The rest is there, acces the book and see it for yourself. Everything, the persons and quotes are sourced by Willem Floor.
There is no such thing said in your quote, nowhere does it says "Safavids considered themselves blablabla". And your comparision is nonesense. One is a obscure comment, the other is first-hand observation.

So, getting frustrated are we?
I already said that i saw that small part by Willem Floor and Hasan Javadi. But what about the rest? and their sources?
When i said Safavids considered themselves the descendants of the Achaemenid Persians, of Xerxes and Darius. ..I clearly wrote before quoting..."Source: Pietro Della Valle, EARLY Sixteenth-Century.".
And did the same with the other texts, One google search and you'll find the text, his books.
I could not do the same with any of the sources you used and claimed were from the Safavid era.
Browne wasn't but Sanson was, however i could not find the comments that you said he had stated.
Now if i wrote..."Valle says they are the descendants of the Achaemenid Persians, of Xerxes and Darius." That would be just stupid, and that's what you did when writing of "Browne" and "French missionary Sanson".
