WT:FA TR
Hi,

Thanks for Persian contributions. Could you please try keeping the transliterations more standards as in the preferred way (Wiktionary column) per WT:FA TR? E.g. "x", not "kh", "i", not "ī", etc.? --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 03:57, 21 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Hello Anatoli T.,
 * sure, I will do that. I am still learning an new to Wiktionary. I will stick to the Wiktionary conventions for transliterations. My only question is the long vowels. :I used bar to denote that, like in "ī", should I avoid these too? Or is there an alternative way?


 * Thanks

 * Since this is based on modern Iranian, only the long ɒː is transliterated as "â", otherwise iː and uː are just "i" and "u", we don't use "ī" and "ū", e.g. . Remember that the short vowels in modern Iranian are "e" and "o" (which mostly replaced "i" and "u" in Classical or Dari), plus diphthongs. Occasionally, long ê and ô are also used. (BTW, I am no expert in Persian.) --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 10:16, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Thanks Anatoli, I will defintiely stick to the Wiktionary regulations from now onward and try to correct the previous ones. Mazsch (talk) 00:14, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Help with usexes
Hello,

I'm a beginner learner of Persian who's been adding various Persian usage examples adapted from my textbooks and various other resources, but I know from personal experience that textbooks can often have awkward/unnatural/inaccurate usage examples and I might have also made mistakes in the adaptation. When you have the time, could you check if the following usage examples I've added are all accurate? Here are all the entries in question:

Sorry for the very long list, and thank you so much in advance!--Karaeng Matoaya (talk) 05:44, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello Karaeng Matoaya! Very great to hear about your interest in Persian. I would like to thank you for your efforts in expansion of Persian Wiktionary! That is totally fine, I will review your examples when I have the time. Please continue to contribute and do not be afraid of making mistakes. Mazsch (talk) 06:33, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for the help! :D --Karaeng Matoaya (talk) 08:01, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Bostani Writing System
What do you think of the Bostani writing system for Persian? --Apisite (talk) 06:55, 3 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Cool, never heard of it or seen it before! Thanks for mentioning! Who made this?! @Apisite Mazsch (talk) 07:21, 3 December 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure how widespread Bostani should be to be included at Wiktionary, but in any case, would you like to start a Bostani writing club?
 * Anyway, here's one hidden category to follow: Requests for pronunciation in Persian entries. --Apisite (talk) 08:07, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm actually quite busy these days but thanks for letting me know, I might do in the future! I need to read more about it though! Mazsch (talk) 21:07, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

How about you? --Apisite (talk) 11:11, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

How about you too? --Apisite (talk) 20:20, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello, wow a modern Persian script based on older iranian writing systems sounds very interesting! I don’t really have the time for it currently with finals coming up and I don’t think i will be able to contribute in any way. But thank you for telling me! I’ll definitely read more about it later.
