| Transliteration |
|
| Putting the letters of one alphabet into the letters of another. The system of transliterating Arabic and Persian into English used by Shoghi Effendi and the Bahá'ís in general is based on the one adopted at the tenth International Congress of Orientalists held at Geneva in 1894. |
| On 12 March 1923 Shoghi Effendi requested the Bahá'ís to 'avoid confusion in the future' by faithfully adhering to a uniform spelling. In November 1923 he wrote: 'I am confident that the friends will not feel their energy and patience taxed by a scrupulous adherence to what is an authoritative and universal, though arbitrary code for the spelling of Oriental terms.'15 |
