  • Persian uses its own digit shapes (CLDR numbering system arabext), different from Arabic digits for 4, 5 and 6.
  • Nasta'liq is the traditional calligraphic style; Naskh is the usual print style.

Letter by letter

The romanisation applies the register's value of each letter in turn. It is a reading aid: vowels the script does not write stay unwritten and spelling rules are not applied. Nothing you type leaves your browser.
