NOTES ON TRANSLITERATION FOR CONTRIBUTORS TO IRAN I. OLD AND MIDDLE PERSIAN

It is recognized that no rigid lines can be laid down here, but it is suggested that the Old Persian syllabary should be transliterated according to the table in Kent, Old Persian. Grammar, Texts, Lexicon, p. 12; that for Manichaean Middle Persian and Parthian, the transliteration system given in Andreas- Henning, Mitteliranische Manichaica, vol. III, p. 66, should be used; whilst for Pahlavi, the table of alphabets given in Nyberg, A Manual of Pahlavi, new edition, p. 129, may be used as a reference for transcription. U. ISLAMIC AND MODERN PERSIAN

The system used for the Cambridge History of Islam should be used here as far as possible. Consonants

names and for Arabic words used in Persian. S P 3 z c g S s 3 zh I v

Notes I. The

i.zfa should be represented by -i, or after long vowels, by -yi, e.g. umard-yijdnki.

2. The Arabic definite article should be written as al- or 1-, even before the so-called " sun letters ", e.g. 'Abd al-Malik, Abu 'l-Nasr.

3. The macrons of Abfi and Dhti (Zi) should be omitted before the definite article, e.g. Abu

'I- Abbds (but Abai 'Ubaida). It is obvious that for the rendering of linguistic and dialectical material, and possibly also for

contemporary literary and spoken Persian, this rigorous system of transliteration is inappropriate; contributors should use their discretion here. III. GENERAL POINTS

I. Names of persons should be rigorously transliterated. 2. Conventional English equivalents (without macrons or diacritics) should be used for the names

of countries, provinces or large towns, e.g. Khurasan, Shiraz. Otherwise, all place-names should be rigorously transliterated. Archaeologists are asked to be especially careful in representing the names of little-known places at or near sites.

3. Modern Turkish names and words should be written in the current romanized Turkish ortho- graphy.

4. Where classical Greek and Latin renderings of Old and Middle Persian names exist, these familiar forms should be used for preference.
