It's like é è à á î ï í ì ö ô ó ò ø, etc. to me Larry Send a noteboard - 31/12/2011 12:31:21 AM
Of course, the emphatics only appear in Arabic loanwords, but considering how many of those there are...


If I have to put diacritical marks on loan words and not pronounce them like natives when writing (fiancée), then it's just one more thing to learn to write correctly (since I doubt I'll be speaking Persian on a conversational level in the near future). Annoying, but also like what I've had to learn how to do before when using foreign expressions in English.

Was that supposed to be kitab? You wrote n, not i, for the second consonant. *NM* Tom - 29/12/2011 04:32:39 PM 248 Views

"I" doesn't look like that in a medial position, Larry. Tom - 29/12/2011 04:47:04 PM 649 Views
I meant the typewriter "i" Larry - 29/12/2011 04:53:46 PM 620 Views
As a side note, I'm greatly amused with myself for typing "typewriter" in late 2011. Larry - 29/12/2011 05:01:39 PM 635 Views
Frankly, the rest of it looks garbled, too *NM* Tom - 29/12/2011 04:44:16 PM 256 Views
Yeah, you're not supposed to type the i, hence that hamza that you get. Legolas - 29/12/2011 07:07:14 PM 723 Views
Might be for the best at this time Larry - 29/12/2011 07:24:31 PM 604 Views
I don't think it'll be that bad. Legolas - 29/12/2011 07:38:41 PM 614 Views
Oh, nasta'liq is in my near future Larry - 29/12/2011 07:50:56 PM 566 Views

Yes, I have to do it at some point Larry - 29/12/2011 08:57:18 PM 624 Views
Let me put it this way... Legolas - 29/12/2011 09:27:36 PM 568 Views
I don't think "put off" is the word for it Larry - 29/12/2011 09:40:37 PM 880 Views
Okay. Legolas - 29/12/2011 10:03:11 PM 692 Views

Persian doesn't have as many sounds as Arabic. Tom - 30/12/2011 12:27:01 AM 604 Views
A small mercy so far Larry - 30/12/2011 12:59:18 AM 742 Views
Wouldn't that just make it harder to spell right? Legolas - 30/12/2011 07:51:06 PM 659 Views
Yes. Tom - 30/12/2011 11:34:34 PM 613 Views

I have a talent with languages and it challenges my mind, which I need. Simple as that. *NM* Larry - 31/12/2011 12:32:32 AM 362 Views
