How do Iranians feel about the Samanids?

[hyperman]

Just a question, I've been trying to research/read about previous empires in Khorasan and the historical relations between lets call it "Eastern Persianate"(Tajiks and Dari speakers) and "Western Persianate" peoples, and was wondering how relations have been historically and perceptions of previous empires and dynasties that ruled the land in what is present day Iran and other farsi speaking populaces.

Do people learn about them in schools in Iran and how do they feel about them?

They are well respected. Generally the eastern dynasties were known for persianizing eastern iranian peoples. The Persian language experienced a golden age under the samanids.
