Arguments and Discussions On Use of Perso-Arabic

In almost all countries which use Perso-Arabic script, there have been discussions between parties about replacing it, often raising the concept of romanization. For example:

  • Tajikistan has implemented a Cyrillic alphabet instead of Perso-Arabic
  • Turkish people have chosen a Latin-Based Turkish alphabet, in part because the eight vowels of Turkish were ambiguously represented by only three symbols
  • Azerbaijan and Uzbek implemented Cyrillic, but have since switched to Latin alphabets.
  • In Iran, methods of romanizations like Unipers have been invented.
  • Kurdish language has utilized a Kurdish Latin alphabet

Famous quotes containing the words arguments and/or discussions:

    We are seeing an increasing level of attacks on the “selfishness” of women. There are allegations that all kinds of social ills, from runaway children to the neglected elderly, are due to the fact that women have left their “rightful” place in the home. Such arguments are simplistic and wrongheaded but women are especially vulnerable to the accusation that if society has problems, it’s because women aren’t nurturing enough.
    Grace Baruch (20th century)

    A philosopher who is not taking part in discussions is like a boxer who never goes into the ring.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
