There are three central figures of the Baha'i Faith:
1. The Bab (which is his title that means "the gate") was the forerunner for the Baha'i Faith, transitioning between Islam and the new revelation. He is considered by the Baha'is as the Twelfth Imam. He said that another Messenger of God, the promised One, would be coming shortly....
2. Baha'u'llah (title for "the glory of God") was the Messenger of God and the founder of the Baha'i Faith. He is the Promised One of all the religions of the past (the messiah, the 'return' of Jesus, etc). His holy book is called the Kitab-i-Aqdas ("The Most Holy Book").
3. Abdu'l-Baha (title for "servant of baha") was the eldest son of Baha'u'llah and helped the religion to expand, to reach the West, and to many other things. He was chosen by Baha'u'llah to lead the religion after his passing.
There are other key people such as Shoghi Effendi (grandson of Abdu'l-Baha who was chosen by him to continue leadership and greatly elaborated and translated many of the teachings). These are some historic figures. The Baha'i Faith is now headed by the Universal House of Justice.

What is the bahai language?
Bahai is a religion, not a country or geographic area, nor does it represent an ethnic group.As a religion that believes in the unity of humankind, the Bahai beliefs are not restricted to any one language or language group.However, in the interests of engendering international unity, the Bahai Faith advocates the introduction of an international 'world' language. Even so, the religion has not said what language that should be, and, as yet, has not developed such a language for global use. In fact, their view is that such a language should be selected or created by the world's governments."It is incumbent upon all nations to appoint some men of understanding and erudition to convene a gathering and through joint consultation choose one language from among the varied existing languages, or create a new one, to be taught to the children in all the schools of the world." -Bahai quote, according to WikiPedia.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------See Related links below for more information.
