Script
Persian is semi-cursive. This makes a difference. Persian is beautiful, but the English letters are more practical for conveying information. This hasn't been measured, but it should be.

You may notice a discrepancy between the letters in the alphabet and the letters in Persian words. That’s because the letters in the alphabet are always shown in detached form, while the letters within words are in different forms depending on where they are in the word. This is what happens when you have a semi-cursive script.
