Nastaliq

Predominant calligraphic hand of the Perso-Arabic script

Nastaliq is one of the main calligraphic hands used to write the Persian and sometimes Arabic scripts, and is used for several significant Indo-Iranian languages, predominantly Persian, Urdu, Kurdish, Pashto, Balochi, Punjabi (in Pakistan), Kashmiri and Saraiki. It is also often used for Ottoman Turkish, but rarely for Arabic (particularly in Iraq) and Arwi. Nastaliq developed in Iran from a combination of Naskh and Ta'liq, beginning in the 13th century and it remains widely used in Iran, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and other countries for writing poetry and as a form of art.
