03Transliteration

Choose a standard and type. Each standard is a published ALA-LC romanization table.

Persian to Latin, ALA-LC (2012)

زبان فارسی

zbān fārsī

Letter by letter. Short vowels are not written in Persian, so a full romanisation needs them supplied from a dictionary. و and ی are read as consonants at the start of a word or beside a vowel letter, otherwise as long vowels.

Nothing you type leaves your browser. A teaching aid: check any text against the standard before you use it.

Each language’s letters with their sounds, on its Linguistics page.

05How the tools work

  • Each tool is part of this site. No outside service, font or script is loaded.
  • Without JavaScript each tool shows its full table.
  • The letters come from Unicode CLDR, the names and code points from the Unicode Character Database, and the transliteration from the ALA-LC tables.
  • A teaching aid: check any text against the standard before you publish it.
