PARSA-Bench: A Comprehensive Persian Audio-Language Model Benchmark

PARSA‑Bench is the first dedicated benchmark for evaluating large audio‑language models on Persian, addressing unique challenges such as classical poetry, traditional music, and code‑switching. It comprises 16 tasks—10 of which are new—covering speech understanding, paralinguistic analysis, and culturally grounded audio reasoning. Across most tasks, text‑only baselines outperform audio‑based models, indicating that audio understanding remains the main limitation, except for Persian poetry where prosody provides additional information that audio beats text.
