ROMANIZATION OF PERSIAN

(Redirected from UniPers)

A number of different transliteration schemes have been proposed to represent the phonology of the Persian language in the Roman alphabet.
Some phonemes are not present in English or other European languages; others are present in English but do not have a consistent spelling.
Although the Persian alphabet is an extension of the Arabic alphabet, simply using a Romanization of Arabic for Persian is not a good solution, because multiple Arabic consonants may map to a single Persian consonant, and Persian-alphabet vowel representation differs from Arabic.

UniPers

''UniPers'', also called ''Pârsiye Jahâni'' (literally: ''global Persian'') by its creators, is a proposed Latin-based alphabet for the Persian language. The system combines the basic Latin alphabet plus a few modified letters (Â/â, Š/š, Ž/ž, and an apostrophe).
The creators of the system have mentioned that they have the following criteria for their design of the system: serving the Persian language and no other, only using the Latin script, simplicity and ease of use by using a minimal number of diacritical letters and rules, one-to-one correspondence between the sound values of the language and the letters in the system (which may be relaxed in case of š and ž), and conformance with standard pronunciation of the language.
