The Farsi Alphabet — الفبای فارسی

The Persian alphabet has 32 letters, written right to left. Let's explore the letters and their sounds.

The alphabet starts with:
ا (Alef) — the long 'a' sound
ب (Be) — the 'b' sound
پ (Pe) — the 'p' sound
ت (Te) — the 't' sound
ث (Se) — the 's' sound
ج (Jim) — the 'j' sound
چ (Che) — the 'ch' sound
ح (He) — the 'h' sound
...

Each letter has different forms depending on its position in a word: initial, medial, final, and standalone.
