Universal Persian Alphabet

Universal persian is a simple Latin-based alphabet uniquely designed to facilitate the reading and writing of the Persian language. The UniPers script combines the basic Latin alphabet plus a few modified letters, and a handful of common sense rules and recommendations, in order to best represent the sounds of Persian.

INTRODUCTION

The above alphabetic principle makes reading and writing easy, allowing the reader to pronounce words from their spelling, and the writer to spell them from their sounds. The UniPers alphabet and its rules are founded on this fundamental principle. The statements of purpose of the UniPers script are given below:

To provide the Persian language with a standard Latin-based script that is clear, simple, and consistent. To make reading and writing of the Persian language, readily accessible to most users, regardless of their national origin and/or education level.

Purpose

AXIOMS

Here are the 5 axioms of the UniPers script:

The script must serve the Persian language and not the other way around. No other language should be served. The alphabet and numbers must be exclusively Latin with additional common diacritical letters and symbols if necessary. Simplicity and ease of use. The script must be used for the broadest possible transcription of the Persian sounds with the absolute minimum number of diacritical letters, symbols, and rules. Each letter of the alphabet must have a unique basic Persian sound value. Every basic sound of the Persian language must be exclusively represented by a unique letter of the alphabet. No digraphs, ligatures, or redundant letters are allowed. The spelling rules and conventions must conform, and in no way be in conflict with, the standard pronunciations and flow of the Persian language.
