Arguments and Discussions On Use of Perso-Arabic
In almost all countries which use Perso-Arabic script, there have been discussions between parties about replacing it, often raising the concept of romanization. For example:
- Tajikistan has implemented a Cyrillic alphabet instead of Perso-Arabic
- Turkish people have chosen a Latin-Based Turkish alphabet, in part because the eight vowels of Turkish were ambiguously represented by only three symbols

- Kurdish language has utilized a Kurdish Latin alphabet

—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
