This document lists the Roman script transcription forms of many of the Arabic and Fársí (some are of Turkish origin) names and words used in the Bahá’í Writings as a guide to their transcription. Hence, there is no need to include all possible combinations of those words used in the names of people and places. However, additional root words have been added as a guide to an understanding of the meaning of the words.* Why use transcription?.. .“Regarding the transliteration of Persian and Arabic words the House of Justice requests that the method adopted by the beloved Guardian, and which is described in the various volumes of The Bahá’í World, be followed, as it permits all languages which use the Roman alphabet to transliterate such terms in the same way throughout the Bahá’í world.”1 Whatever “house styles” Publishing Trusts and other Bahá’í publishers may adopt, transliteration of oriental terms into languages using the Roman alphabet must at present be according to the system chosen by the Guardian and described in volumes of The Bahá’í World.2 Accuracy.. .Any variations in transcription by the authors listed under the Information sources heading, and information from all other Bahá’í authors have been subjected to the following progressive checks: a) Consistency with transcription rules as used by Shoghi Effendi, and similar words. b) An internet search of transcripted forms of the words. c) An internet search for the original Arabic of the words that are then manually transcripted. d) A search for the words in Arabic dictionaries (e.g. The Hans Wehr dictionary of modern written Arabic). e) Consulting knowledgeable Bahá’ís who are Arabic and/or Fársí speakers. However, this information needs to be cross checked with the above sources. Entries in this document are amended as the author acquires a better understanding of Arabic and Fársí, and when names and words not in the list are found in relevant publications. Hence, it is recommended that you only use the latest available copy from www.miscellanie.com/ transliteration/index.html. Any corrections or suggestions regarding improvements to the list are welcomed.
