Reversion[edit]

Hi, Doostdar. Please have a look at this revision edit summary. I don't know Farsi specifically, but my experience is that languages with Arabic scripts usually don't vary their spellings. For example, I only remember seeing the name Muhammad spelled one way in Arabic, although there are numerous spellings in Roman lettering. But perhaps I misunderstood what you meant to say.

All the best,

@Ikan Kekek: Hi, place names in Afghanistan are not constant. Some cities have changed their names from Pashtu into Persian and vice versa. The letter Q is sometimes pronounced K by English settlers in Afghanistan and as a result the Persian name for that place will change. I think spelling variations in places' names are to some extent complicated and can not be explained in Wikivoyage. --Doostdar (talk) 06:50, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
So the Persian names sometimes change from using qaf to kaf? Interesting. Yeah, perhaps not worth going into in English-language Wikivoyage, but still interesting. Thanks. Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:05, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good topic[edit]

Thanks for starting the Sex segregation‎‎ topic, which can be very useful to travelers.

Thanks for reading my article. --Doostdar (talk) 11:40, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I have to demur. :-) First, it's not your article, and second, I'm doing more than reading. Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:33, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
