I’m looking for the various spellings of Alexander’s name and titles, and I came acrossed this article about a Pahlavi text about him. Could anyone help figure out which version of the script this is?

my surname is صدقی which means "truthful" or "honest" but i dont like it because its arabic and i wanna change it to something thats of iranian origin but respects my ancestors and means something close to my surname.

Hi, what is the equivalent of the ع letter in pahlavi script? I'm trying to make a neo-avestan script for making it suit the modern Persian language on r/Neo_Avestan, but the letter 'ain is missing in avestan. So I was thinking to take it from the Pahlavi script, even if the letter is pretty much silent in the modern day Persian so maybe it's not that useful.

If you are interested in the script I'm building consider joining the subreddit and feel free to make your posts!

I wanna learn how to speak/write/read Pahlavi. Anyone got sources to learn, like books/PDFs?

I don't understand the second part, I think the explanation is missing a part

Greetings!

I am attempting to find a text from the 19th chapter of the Menog-ī Khrad in an original script, either Pahlavi or Avesta. The text is an aphorism from the Zoroastrian scriptures and translates into English as "To live in fear and falsehood is worse than death."

This is for a calligraphy project and any help or resources to guide me along the way would be greatly appreciated. Bonus gratitude if you can provide me with an interlinear text in Pahlavi, Avesta, and English if at all possible.

Thank you all so much in advance.

Hello there!

I'm writing a book, a low-fantasy novel, and I'm wondering if anyone here would like to help me, either directly or with a connection to someone who'd be interested in helping out with some names for a fantasy novel.

The book is inspired by what I was studying in university (history and art history of West Asia) before I got too ill continue. The setting has late medieval technology with some divergences, which would be Classical Persian, but I have toponyms and demonyms that would have much earlier origins than that, and it's those that I could really use some consultation on.

I don't want to clog up this learner's space if at all possible, I was hoping I could find someone willing to chat over email/discord/DMs, or that someone could direct me to someone who likes to help with such things.

Thank you for your time. :)

Hi, does middle Persian had cases? And if yes, which ones?

Doing a Crusader kings three campaign and need a name for my new Zoroastrian sect. If there’s a phrase meaning something like “orthodox” or “new orthodox” that would be pretty cool.

I'm a fan of the Prince of Persia video game series. I figured it's Middle Persian that'd be spoken in that time period. I'm learning it on parsig.org. I'm learning and writing the language in Pazend script because it being phonetic. I wish it was cursive like Arabic. I'd like to know what the team behind parsig.org are doing currently.

P.S. I miss dental fricatives.

I've conjured up a name for a fictional Parthian/Sassanian inspired realm for this fantasy world and I wanted to check if I've got everything here correct... mostly because I used ChatGPT and I have no idea how else to check this.

First of all, I have named this place the Shahdom of Bamshahr (which is supposed to read as 'splendid land' or 'land of splendour'), but the full title I have working is the Shahdom and Šahrestans of Bamshahr (Šahrestans being what I've got for the territory ruled by a šahrab or šasab, which, do tell me if I'm wrong here).

I asked chatgpt to render it in Middle Persian and was given the following;

کشورشاهی و شهرستان‌های بامشاهر

(Keshvar-i shahi u shahrestan-hāy-i Bamshahr)

Also quickly asked it to render it in Parthian and got

𐭆𐭍𐭉𐭃𐭕𐭉𐭓 𐭃𐭀𐭉𐭅𐭔𐭀𐭆𐭕𐭍 𐭆𐭄𐭀𐭆𐭆𐭉𐭀 𐭆𐭀𐭉𐭌𐭔𐭅𐭉𐭍𐭓
(šahdomān ud šahrēstānān ī Bamšahr)

Could someone just... you know, check all of my work and tell me if this is all good or if I'm horrendously incorrect? Thanks.
