Balochi alphabets
Balochi alphabets (Balochi: بلۏچی سیاھگ; Balòci Siyàhag) consist of the Balòrabi script, based on the Perso-Arabic script, and the Balòtin script, based on the Latin script. Both scripts are used for the Balochi language spoken in the Balochistan region of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran.
The Balochi alphabet, standardized by Balochi Academy Sarbaz, consists of 32 letters.
The Romanized version is called Balòtin, and the Arabic version is called Balòrabi.
Balochi also has 3 digraphs set by Balochi Academy Sarbaz in Standard Alphabets:
Arabic diacritics are used in Balochi, as with other scripts derived from Arabic:
One of the aspects that distinguishes Balochi orthography from other orthographies derived from Perso-Arabic Script is the use of stand-alone Hamza (ء), which, depending on its function within a sentence, is always written with one of three vowel diacritics. Stand-alone Hamza without diacritic is also used similar to other Perso-Arabic Scripts, to indicated glottal stop at end of words
The use of Hamza in such a way was first used in Balochi by poet Husayn Anqa, and officially adopted into Balochi as a result of decisions made in a convention in Karachi, Pakistan on 22 July 1959, attended by prominent Balochi poets and literaturists.
Below are the forms that stand-alone Hamza is used:
