A little extra thing. If you could add what the letters sound like, then it would be great.

  1. Well these are Arabic letters. The Persian or Iranians as they are now called discarded Farsi which was written in the latin alphabet, and adopted the Arabic script.

    Each of these letters are stand alone Arabic letters and would look different depending on where they are in the word. Reading from right to left the first one is a kind of uh sound, a gutteral interjection, the second is what is called an Aleph, the straight line and supports either the A or the I or EE sound, the marks below or on top are called diacritical marks, the first one which is underneath will give the I or EE sound, the second with the mark above the A sound, as will the following o looking character, the next one that looks like a 9 is a w consonant supporting the a sound, and the next gives the yah sound, and finally back to the straight line aleph supporting the A sound.


  2. actually we don't use"إ أ "in Farsi,we simply use"ا"istead of both..like in the words"ابر"(meaning=cloud)(pronounced as"Abr")

    and"اسم"(meaning=name)(pronounced as"Esm")..we call this symbol"الف"(pronounced as"Alef")

    and we use"ی"and not"ئ"..like in the word"عالی"(meaning=excellent)..we don't have"ئ"in Farsi script.

    and we use"و", we don't have" ؤ"in Farsi script..(except in some words originally from Arabic..like in"سؤال")(which is also a word in Farsi)(mening"question")

    we don't have or use"ۀ"

    we use"اً"in some words which are originally Arabic but are also used in Farsi,like in."لطفاً"(meaning=please)..we call this symbol"تنوین"

    and we don't use"ء"(it's called"همزه")(pronounced as"Hamzeh")..but we use it in the other form..like in the word"مسئول"(which is originally Arabic,but is also used in Farsi)
