The Issue of alphabet

The issue of Alphabet is a Striking one  ,The Persians never had their own Alphabet,But are Quick to Attack the Arabs because allegedly we had no alphabet.

Lets See some of the alphabetsand their Dates and Origins.



1.the alphabet of the Shebans Called Musnad( المُسند)and its Cursive form Zabur.


This dates from C.  900 B.C.E and is as old as the Phoenician alphabet the first modern Alphabet.



2.Safaitic (صفوية)(C.100 B.C.E)



3.Lihyanite(لحيان)(C.600 B.C.E)



4.Thamudic(لثمودية)(C.1000 B.C.E Or c.400 B.C.E)






5.Nabataean(لأنباط‎ )( נְבָיוֹת) (200 B.C.E)



As You Can See The Musnad,Lihyanite and Thamudic Scripts Pre-Date the Existence of a Place Called Persia.


Now did Persians have their own script?

Well,The Pahlavi script is a Mixture of Ancient script of Imperial Aramaic From Wich it Derives its Script,Logograms and some of its Vocabulary.

It also amde Soem Adjustments because Some Sounds in PErsian did not Exist in Aramaic spoken language,let alone the script,so they added some letters,


this is simlar to the Jawi script and the Arabic Script.















When did the pahlavi script emerge?


well this is a Funny one for Aryanists,the Only Pahlavi script we have is from  The Time of Mithradates I a Parthian King whos cellars show Thousands of Pahlavi inscriptions ,He Reigned From 171–138 BCE.

These Inscritpiopns can be Found at  Mithradatkird(Modern Day Nisa)and Show references to the Immediatte family of the king.


Now this means,in all Laughter,that all Arabic Scripts except the Classical and the Safaitic Pre-dates any Persian Script!
