# Persian (Farsi) transliteration overrides
# Based on BGN/PCGN 1958 romanization system (ASCII output)

# different vowel pronunciation, and distinct romanization conventions.
# The default table already provides base Arabic mappings; this table
# overrides characters where Persian pronunciation differs from Arabic.
