PERSIAN.
The Persians write their characters from the right hand to the left.
There are thirty-two Persian letters. The alphabet and following
observations are in the Tâleek character.

The second and fourth columns of these letters from the right hand
are used only when they are connected with a preceding letter. Every
letter should be connected with that which follows it, except these
seven; ا _alif_, د _dal_, ذ _zal_, ر _ra_, ز _za_, ژ
_zha_, and و _vau_, which are never joined to the following letter.
The short vowels are expressed by small marks, two of which are
placed above the letter, and one below it, as بَ _ba_ or _be_, بِ
_be_ or _bi_, بُ _bo_ or _bu_.
The mark ﹾ placed above a consonant shows that the syllable ends
with it. The short vowels are very seldom written in the Persian
books; and the other orthographical marks are likewise usually
suppressed, except _Mudda_ ۤ , _Humza_ٴ , and _Tushdeed_ ﹼ; the
two first of which are most common.
The most usual combination of letters are formed with خ ج چ
ح, which have the singular property of causing all the preceding
letters to rise above the line, as بخارا _bokhára_, نحچير
_nakhcheer_, تصحيح _tas-héeh_. The letters that precede م _m_ are
also sometimes raised. Lam-alif لا is compounded of ل _l_ and ا
_a_.
The Arabic characters, like those of the Europeans, are written in
a variety of different hands; but the most common of them are the
Nuskhee, the Tâleek , or _hanging_, and the Shekesteh, or _broken_.
Our books have hitherto been printed in the Nuskhee hand, and all
Arabic manuscripts, as well as most Persian and Turkish histories,
are written in it; but the Persians write their poetical works in the
Tâleek, which answers to the most elegant of our Italic hands. As to
the Shekesteh, it is very irregular and inelegant, and is chiefly
used by the idle Indians, who will not take time to form their
letters perfectly, or even to insert the diacritical points; but this
hand, however difficult and barbarous, must be learned by all men of
business in India, as the letters from the princes of the country are
seldom written in any other manner.
_Numbers._--The following are the most common of the Persian
numbers:--

+--------+-------------+------------------+
_Niskhi._--This is the form of writing used by the Arabians, who
invented the characters: as every Persian student should acquire a
knowledge of the Arabic, it ought therefore to be learned. This hand
is frequently employed by the Persians, and the history of Nader Shah
was written in it. The Niskhi is the parent of the Tâleek, and of all
the other hands in which the Arabic and Persian languages are now
written.
_Tâleek._--The Tâleek is the most beautiful hand writing used by the
Persians. In the manuscripts written in the Tâleek hand, the strokes
of the reed are extremely fine, and the initial letters ﺑ ﺗ ز
are scarcely perceptible. As the Persians always write their lines
of an equal length, they are obliged to place their words in a very
irregular manner; if the line be too short, they lengthen it by a
fine stroke of the reed; if too long, they write the words one above
another. In the Persian poems the transcribers place both members of
a couplet on the same line, and not the first above the second, as we
do: a Persian would write the following verses in this order:
_With ravish’d ears_, _The monarch hears_,
_Assumes the god_, _Affects to nod_.
It must be confessed, that this irregularity in writing, joined to
the confusion of the diacritical points, which are often placed at
random, and sometimes omitted, makes it very difficult to read
the Persian MSS., till the language becomes familiar to us; but
this difficulty, like all others in the world, will be insensibly
surmounted by the habit of industry and perseverance, without which
no great design was ever accomplished.
_Nustaleek._--The character called Nustaleek is compounded of
the Niskhi and Tâleek. It differs, however, considerably from
the graceful turns and beautiful flourishes of several of the
manuscripts. The Nustaleek character may be as easily read by
Europeans as the Niskhi.
_Shekesteh._--In this inelegant hand all order and analogy are
neglected; the points which distinguish ف from ق, خ from
ج, and ب from ت, ث and پ, &c., are for the most part
omitted, and these seven letters ادذرزژو are connected
with those that follow them in a most irregular manner. This is,
certainly, a considerable difficulty, which must be surmounted before
the learner can translate an Indian letter.
