Persian script

Persian script is a variant of the Arabic script used to write the Persian language, primarily in Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. It consists of 32 letters and is written from right to left. While it shares many letters with Arabic, Persian includes additional characters to represent sounds unique to the language. The script is integral to Persian literature, culture, and identity, serving various functions from poetry to everyday communication. Its cursive style makes it visually distinctive, with letters often connecting to each other, adding to its fluid aesthetic.
