Your " H" or, mine? Uncle Benross?

آقا بن راس
داداشم، فغان، میگه با شما قهره، نمیدونم بین شما دوتا چی شده، من خودمو
توی موضوع های مردونه قاطی نمیکنم ، مردمو كه میشناسین.حرف در میارن. ولی
حالا كه تا اینجا اومدی یواشکی به خودم بگو ، به هیشکی نمیگم؛قول میدم :
میخوام بدونم " لیدی گاگا " رو بیشتر دوست داری یا " بیانسه" رو. هر چی
خاک اونه عمر شما باشه ، من شما رو مث بابا بزرگ مرحومم  دوست دارم اونم
اخلاق شما رو داشت : جلوی ما بچه مچه ها، ژست های آبدوغ خیا ری میگرفت و
آهان و اوهون میکرد اما همینکه میدید کسی حواسش نیست میرفت سراغ " نرگس "
كه پیشمون بود واسه کارای خونه. اوا مث اینکه فغان داره صدام میزنه با هاس
برم. تابعد.

A horny philosopher? what's next, FR?; my dear hermaphrodite

a): Why not a simple acceptance of the fact the your comment about homophones was off point, not applicable and simply wrong?

Your beloved Shah had the same narcissistic personality.

b): I sense a bit of tension in you; don't get yourself too involved with those NIAC guys, The Q and the Trita thing people; rest assured that they are as irrelevant to the real people in Iran as your Reza jaan is.

c): You gotta tell me the truth. Are you slipping Viagra or, something like that to your papa Ben's food or, something? look, where I spotted him the  other night:

//iranian.com/main/blog/dordooneh/bad-rom...

and that big word that he used; it must be the yiddish term for "erect"omatic or, something like that; right?

And, that's not all scroll down on this very page; do you see what I mean? He wants that letter to be round and smooth with a hole in its middle.

I am sure  you will use all your charm, beauty and,skills  to make sure the old man's (natural?) needs are met lest he makes a mess at The House Of Pahlavi.

OK, talking about Q; this is my take:

The Pahlavis and all mullas must disclose the source and the amount of their wealth.

Wow Afghan, you noticed!

I knew such  "clever" comments may turn up. Same sounding words are generated by the same sounding letters or their combinations. Your Homo-sensitivities are appreciated. Take it easy on G & T.

Know your homos!

Homophones are words of the same pronunciation; different letters which  produce the same sound  have made Farsi's alphabets too crowded.

The Pahlavis and all mullas must disclose the source and the amount of their wealth.

Homophones are not exclusive to Persian

Consider these: maid-made; pair-pear; see-sea; plain-plane; hear-here, hair-hare, hole-whole, knew-new, fair-fare, where-were, course-coarse or on a different level, faze-phase (ph vs f and s vs z), daze-days and many more.

Why don't the English speaking people change their words/letters of the same sound but different meaings, you may ask. The reason is simple: the moment you  tamper with the spelling of a word, you destroy the history of how the word was derived and its related derivates otherwise known as its ethymology.The nearest and surest method to differentiate between homophones is using the Soundex Algorithm. But I can't imagine you want to write in codes, do you?

Change stigma rather than spelling

با "ارز" ارادت

Ali P: yes, please "aa" for the the back vowel "a" as in baaraan.

مرسی از همگی که جواب دادید

 البته هنر نزد ایرانیان است و بس! ولی خوب هنوز جای با هنر تر شدن داریموقتی در زمان فردوسی یا قبل از او ایرانیان «پ» ,« ژ» , «چ» و« گ » را به الفابه عربی اضافه کردند: 

//www.stanford.edu/dept/lc/arabic/alphabet/images/ArabicAlphabet.jpg

 کسی نگفت الفبای زمان ساسانیان را نگه دارید! آنها چاره دیگری نداشتند.امروز زبان ما بیشتر از عربی و لاتین الفبا دارد و خیلی از ایرنیان در خارج از ایران بدنیا می آیند!اگر یاد گرفتن یا نوشتن فارسی سخت باشد دیگر کسی آنرا استفاده نمیکند همینطور که در اینجا میبینیم همه انگلیسی مینویسند.

من نمیگویم همه چیز را عوض کنیم ولی یک رژیم کوچک برای حذف چند حرف ضرری نخواهد داشت

developing Farsi

Thank you for the blog, Troneg.  The important issue in my mind is why the concern and whether it is shared in Iran.  

But just to address the specific issues that you have raised, Troneg, you are right that there are so many letters in Farsi script representing the same sounds.  However, the different spelling of the same sound, as Abarmard indicates represent different meanings and should we use only one letter to represent the sound S, we would lose that wealth of vocabulary and deciphering text becomes extremely difficult, to say the least!  It would also (as with the at times proposed change of script to Latin!) make our literary heritage inaccessible to the future generations.  

In relation to haft-e teer (seventh of teer), haft teer (hand gun) or haft teer (seven bullets, or seven arrows!) it is interesting!  In my experience after the first year of elementary school, you just learn what is what!  I was an extremely bazigoosh child and even I managed to learn to read without zir or zebar!    

 As far as I am concerned any transformation is improvement only if it helps expand literacy and if the beauty and the wealth of our literary heritage becomes more easily and widely accessible to people.  

Good blog

This is an important blog. Many letters have lost their value in the language, however because of spelling we can arrive to different meanings, so we must be careful not to mess the language by eliminating letters.

For the last question I believe the answer in the Persian language is to write a word together or seperate, Haftteer or haft teer.

In the new Persian rules, the letters must be written seperate unless it is suppose to. Like miravam must be written mi ravam.

فارسی‌ ما ایرانیان، احتیاجی به تحول ندارد،همه چیز که دارد از درستی‌ دارد که عیب و ایراد ندارد،فارسی‌ ما همینجور خوش باشد و خوش آید.

Gereftaaree yekee do taa neest...

My personal goal, is to develop feengeeleesh, to fall into an easy-to- read script.

For example, baabaa, let's agree to write "aab", with 2 a's, and not one "a".

Up until yesterday, I thought Shahin Najafi, was a female rap singer!

If it is "Shahin", it is a FEMALE!

If it is "Shaahin", it is MALE!

How hard is this, mellateh 5000 saaleh???
