That was interesting. Did you translate it yourself? Monzem (Munzim) had been ordered by the Soviets to write this poem prior to the alphabet change in 1929.

They wanted to uproot whatever Persian and Muslin in the country. It didn't take longer than 10 years to realize that Latin was not convenient enough either. Because Iranians and Afghans could understand it easily.

That's why they decided to Russify it in 1939. Other than the historical argument - not losing our link to the past - which may not be valid anymore (converting all old texts to new alphabet can be computerized). There is one strong argument in favour of keeping the alphabet: because the differences in accents between Tajik-tajikistan, tajik-Afghanistan, Persian-Tehrani, and Persian-Isfahani, and so on. H aving Arabic alphabet erases all differences and promotes the unity of the language.

We with all write in the same way but read with slightly different pronunciations!! The ancient Persians and their brothers used also 'semtic', proto-arabic writing scripture (arameic). I do not cara about the alphabete but about the vocabulary. Maybe someone of us is very smart and develope a new alphabete?

I am against latin because we have different (including old iranian dialects ->soghdi) dialects and if we write in latin we won´t understand eachother. Turks in turkey have often this problem. In that case arabic do not know such a problem.

Arabic can have 1000 different dialects but everywhere you can see they write the same phrases with the same letters.

The existing Perso-Arabic will do. All our forefathers have been using it and we don't need a division between us and them. We've seen it already twice in Tajikistan. Results are horrible. Thus perhaps we should keep what we have. [quote=Darius;6611]I doubt there is any need to create a new alphabet. The existing Perso-Arabic will do.

I agree with you for the following two handy reasons: first, there is an overwhelming number of Tajiks who live outside Tajikistan and who do not understand alphabets other than Perso-Arabic. Second, these Tajiks will be deprived of benefits by the Tajik scholarship produced in Tajikistan.
