Re: Ajami consonantism



Hi all,

I just joined this list.  Probably an unconscious
desire to start working on Raamiyaan again!

Wouldn't it be a nice touch if you used different
letters than Persian for non-Arabic phonemes at
least sometimes?  I remember reading somewhere 
that in Al-Andalus *here* qaaf was used for /g/,
with the example of _Qusmaan_ for _Guzmán_.

Also a _p_ based on _faa_ would be a nice touch.

Does Adjami use the Maghribi version of the Arabic 
script?
