192 Many languages which use the Perso-Arabic script add other letters.
193 Besides the Persian alphabet itself, the Perso-Arabic script has been
194 applied to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urdu_alphabet" title="Urdu alphabet">Urdu alphabet</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sindhi_alphabet&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Sindhi alphabet (page does not exist)">Sindhi alphabet</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Saraiki_alphabet&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Saraiki alphabet (page does not exist)">Saraiki alphabet</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdish_alphabet#Comparison_of_Kurmanj.C3.AD.2C_Yekgirt.C3.BA_and_Sorani_alphabets" title="Kurdish alphabet">Kurdish Sorani alphabet</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lurish&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Lurish (page does not exist)">Lurish</a> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luri" title="Luri" class="mw-redirect">Luri</a>), <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Turkish_alphabet" title="Ottoman Turkish alphabet">Ottoman Turkish alphabet</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Balochi_alphabet&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Balochi alphabet (page does not exist)">Balochi alphabet</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahmukhi_script" title="Shahmukhi script" class="mw-redirect">Punjabi Shahmukhi script</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iske_Imla" title="Iske Imla" class="mw-redirect">Tatar</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azeri_language" title="Azeri language" class="mw-redirect">Azeri</a>, and several others.</p>
195 <p>In order to represent non-Arabic sounds, new letters were created by
196 adding dots, lines, and other shapes to existing letters. For example,
197 the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroflex_consonant" title="Retroflex consonant">retroflex</a> sounds of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urdu_language" title="Urdu language" class="mw-redirect">Urdu</a> are represented orthographically by adding a small ��_0637 above their non-retroflex counterparts: <span xml:lang="ur" lang="ur">��_062f </span> <span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">[d��_032a ]</span> and <span xml:lang="ur" lang="ur">��_0688 </span> <span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">[��_0256 ]</span>. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_retroflex_fricative" title="Voiceless retroflex fricative">voiceless retroflex fricative</a> <span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">[��_0282 ]</span> of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pashto_language" title="Pashto language">Pashto</a> is represented in writing by adding a dot above and below the <span xml:lang="ps" lang="ps">��_0633 </span> <span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">[s]</span> letter, resulting in <span xml:lang="ps" lang="ps">��_069a </span>. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close_central_rounded_vowel" title="Close central rounded vowel">close central rounded vowel</a> <span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">[��_0289 ]</span> of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdish_language" title="Kurdish language">Kurdish</a> is written by writing two <span xml:lang="kur" lang="kur">���_feed </span> <span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">[u]</span>, resulting in <span xml:lang="kur" lang="kur">���_feed ���_feed </span>.</p>
198 <p>The Perso-Arabic script is exclusively written <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursive" title="Cursive">cursively</a>.
199 That is, the majority of letters in a word connect to each other. This
200 is also implemented on computers. Whenever the Perso-Arabic script is
201 typed, the computer connects the letters to each other. Unconnected
202 letters are not widely accepted. In Perso-Arabic, as in Arabic, words
203 are written from right to left while numbers are written from left to
204 right.</p>
205 <p>There are many Arabic-derived alphabets which were not influenced by the Perso-Arabic script, including <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jawi_script" title="Jawi script">Jawi</a> (used for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malay_language" title="Malay language">Malay</a>), <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorabe" title="Sorabe" class="mw-redirect">Sorabe</a> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malagasy_language" title="Malagasy language">Malagasy</a>), and many alphabets used in Northern Africa. These alphabets used other innovations for writing such common sounds as <span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">[p]</span> and <span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">[��_0261 ]</span>, instead of the Perso-Arabic letters <span xml:lang="fa" lang="fa">��_067e </span> and <span xml:lang="fa" lang="fa">��_06af </span>, although the Jawi script does use the same symbol for <span title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)" class="IPA">[t��_0283 ]</span> (<span style="font-size: 125%;" class="Unicode" xml:lang="und-Arab" lang="und-Arab">��_0686 </span>).</p>
206 <p>A characteristic feature of this script, possibly tracing back to Ancient <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_hieroglyphs" title="Egyptian hieroglyphs">Egyptian hieroglyphs</a>, is that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vowel" title="Vowel">vowels</a> are underrepresented. For example, in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_Arabic" title="Classical Arabic">Classical Arabic</a>, of the six vowels, the three short ones are normally omitted entirely (except in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qur%27an" title="Qur'an">Qur'an</a>), while the three long ones are represented ambiguously by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mater_lectionis" title="Mater lectionis">certain consonants</a>. Only <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashmiri_language" title="Kashmiri language">Kashmiri</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_language" title="Uyghur language">Uyghur</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdish_language" title="Kurdish language">Kurdish</a>, of the many languages using adaptations of this script, regularly indicate all vowels.</p>

555 <p>There are seven letters in the Persian alphabet that do not connect
556 to other letters like the rest of the letters in the alphabet. These
557 seven letters do not have initial or medial forms but the solo and the
558 final forms are used instead because they do not allow for a connection
559 to be made on the left hand side to the other letters in the word. For
560 example, when the letter <b><span xml:lang="fa" lang="fa">��_0627 </span></b> "alef" is at the beginning of a word such as <span xml:lang="fa" lang="fa">��_0627 ��_06cc ��_0646 ��_062c ��_0627 </span> "inj��_0101 " (here), the initial form of "alef" is used. Or in the case of <span xml:lang="fa" lang="fa">��_0627 ��_0645 ��_0631 ��_0648 ��_0632 </span> "emruz" (today) the letter <span xml:lang="fa" lang="fa">���_feae </span> re uses the final form and the letter <span xml:lang="fa" lang="fa">��_0648 </span> v��_0101 v uses the initial form although they are in the middle of the word.</p>

562 <p>The following are not actual letters but different orthographical shapes for letters, and in the case of the <span title="Semitic transliteration" class="Unicode" style="white-space: normal; text-decoration: none;">l��_0101 m alef</span>, a ligature. As to <span title="Nasta'liq" style="font-size: 125%; font-family: 'Jameel Noori Nastaleeq',IranNastaliq,'Nafees Nastaleeq','Nafees Nastaleeq v1.01','Pak Nastaleeq',PDMS_Jauhar;" xml:lang="und-Arab" lang="und-Arab">���_fe80 </span> <i>hamze</i>,
563 it has only a single graphic, since it is never tied to a preceding or
564 following letter. However, it is sometimes 'seated' on a v��_0101 v, ye or
565 alef, and in that case the seat behaves like an ordinary v��_0101 v, ye or alef
566 respectively. Technically, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamza" title="Hamza">hamze</a> is not a letter but a diacritic.</p>

647 <p>The following is a list of differences between the Arabic writing system and the Persian writing system:</p>
648 <ol>
649 <li>A <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamza" title="Hamza">hamze</a></i> (<span xml:lang="fa" lang="fa">��_0621 </span>) is neither written above an <i>alef</i> (<span xml:lang="fa" lang="fa">��_0627 </span>) to denote a <i>zabar</i> or <i>pi��_0161 </i> nor below to denote a <i>zir</i>.</li>
650 <li>The final <i>k��_00e2 f</i> <span xml:lang="fa" lang="fa">���_fb8f </span> is typically written without a flourish, which in Arabic it would be <span xml:lang="ar" lang="ar">���_feda </span>.</li>
651 <li>The Arabic letter <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C4%81%CA%BE_marb%C5%AB%E1%B9%ADa" title="T��_0101 ��_02be marb��_016b ���_1e6d a"><span title="DIN 31635 Arabic" class="Unicode" style="white-space: normal; text-decoration: none;">t��_0101 ��_02be marb��_016b ���_1e6d a</span></a></i> (<span xml:lang="ar" lang="ar">��_0629 </span>), unless used in a direct Arabic quotation, is usually changed to a <i>te</i> (<span xml:lang="fa" lang="fa">��_062a </span>) or <i>he</i> <span xml:lang="fa" lang="fa">��_0647 </span> because <i>t��_0101 ��_02be marb��_016b ���_1e6d a</i> is a grammatical construct in Arabic denoting femininity. Since Persian grammar lacks gender constructs, the <i>t��_0101 ��_02be marb��_016b ���_1e6d a</i> is not necessary and is only kept to maintain fidelity to the original Arabic spelling.</li>
652 <li>Two dots are removed in the final <i>ye</i> (<span xml:lang="fa" lang="fa">��_06cc </span>). Arabic differentiates the final <i><span title="DIN 31635 Arabic" class="Unicode" style="white-space: normal; text-decoration: none;">y��_0101 ��_02be </span></i> with the two dots and <i>alif maqsura</i>, which is written like a final <i>y��_0101 ��_02be </i> without two dots. Because Persian drops the two dots in the final <i>ye</i>, the <i>alif maqsura</i> cannot be differentiated from the normal final <i>ye</i>. For example, the name <i>Mus��_00e2 </i> (Moses) is written <span xml:lang="fa" lang="fa">��_0645 ��_0648 ��_0633 ��_06cc </span>. In the final letter in <i>Mus��_00e2 </i>, Persian does not differentiate between <i>ye</i> or an <i>alif maqsura</i>.</li>
653 <li>The letters <i>pe</i> (<span xml:lang="fa" lang="fa">��_067e </span>), <i>che</i> (<span xml:lang="fa" lang="fa">��_0686 </span>), <i>��_017e e</i> (<span xml:lang="fa" lang="fa">��_0698 </span>), and <i>g��_00e2 f</i> (<span xml:lang="fa" lang="fa">��_06af </span>) are added because Arabic lacks these phonemes, yet they occur in the Persian language.</li>
654 <li>Arabic letter <i>waw</i> (<span xml:lang="ar" lang="ar">��_0648 </span>) is used as <i>v��_00e2 v</i> for [v], because Arabic has no [v] and Persian has no [w].</li>
655 <li>In the Arabic alphabet <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/He_%28letter%29#Arabic_h.C4.81.CA.BE" title="He (letter)"><span title="DIN 31635 Arabic" class="Unicode" style="white-space: normal; text-decoration: none;">h��_0101 ��_02be </span></a></i> (<span xml:lang="ar" lang="ar">���_fee9 </span>) comes before <i><span title="DIN 31635 Arabic" class="Unicode" style="white-space: normal; text-decoration: none;">w��_0101 w</span></i> (<span xml:lang="ar" lang="ar">��_0648 </span>), however in the Persian alphabet, <i>he</i> (<span xml:lang="fa" lang="fa">���_fee9 </span>) comes after <i>v��_00e2 v</i> (<span xml:lang="fa" lang="fa">��_0648 </span>).</li>

704 <p>Almost in all countries which use Perso-Arabic script, there have
