Nastaliq also romanized as Nastaʿlīq or Nastaleeq,
|
|
is one of the main calligraphic hands used to write the
|
|
Perso-Arabic script and it is used for some
|
|
Indo-Iranian languages, predominantly Classical Persian,
|
|
Kashmiri, Punjabi (Shahmukhi) and Urdu (Hindustani).
|
|
It is often used also for Ottoman Turkish poetry,
|
|
but rarely for Arabic. Nastaliq developed in Iran from
|
|
naskh beginning in the 13th century
|
|
and remains widely used in Iran, Afghanistan, India,
|
|
Pakistan, and other countries for written poetry and
|
|
as a form of art.
