AboutBehzad Expertise I can answer questions about the usage and meaning of Persian words, proverbs, and idioms asked in Persian or English. Controversial grammatical issues are beyond my knowledge. In addition, I cannot corroborate my answer to a question about newly coined slang words.
PLEASE do not ask me to translate more than 1 or 2 sentences.
Experience Persian language is my mother tongue; however, my knowledge is remarkably more than a mere native speaker.
There are apparently two styles of written Persian, naskhi and nasta'liq. Please could you write these terms in Arabic script and explain their meaning?
Best wishes, Simon
Answer Hello Simon,
naskh= نسخ which here means writing or transcription by writing, I think, because other meanings of naskh does not suit here.
Nastaligh= نستعلیق = نسخ + تعلیق is a style created by combining naskh and taligh, another writing style.
In the following address, the first picture is a sample of naskh, the second one is a sample of taligh, and the rest are samples of nastaligh, which is the most common style in Iran. However, there are more styles in calligraphy such as اجازت ، توقیع، ثلث ، جلی ، جلی دیوانی ، دیوانی ، رقاع (رقعه) ، ریحانی ، سنبلی ، سیاقت ، شجری ، شکسته ، شکسته ٔ نستعلیق و کوفی
