It is one of the six scripts that had been known at Abbasids. Ibn Muqlah had the great role in developing descent and correct rules of letters. This script is derived from Thuluth, and characterized with flowing letters Raa, Meem and Waw , and does not accept to be combined on the line.
It is a combination of Nasikh and Taleeq script styles. It is beautiful in relevance between tenderness and thickness in characters. It has the same features and shapes of Dewani script with a distinguished difference in using a lot of decorative marks thereon. Tughra refers to the signature of the Othmani Sultan placed on the top of sultani decrees. Naskhi was always employed chiefly for writing on papyrus. In time, it evolved into innumerable styles and varieties, including the ta'liq, the riqa', the diwani, and the thuluth, and became the parent of the modern Arabic writing.
Distinctive scripts were developed in particular regions. In Spain the maghribi "western" script was evolved and became the standard script for Qurans in North Africa. Derived ultimately from Kufic, it is characterized by the exaggerated extension of horizontal elements and of the final open curves below the middle register. Both Persia and Turkey made important contributions to calligraphy.
In these countries the Arabic script was adopted for the vernacular. The Persian scribes invented the ta'liq script in the 13th century.
The term ta'liq means "suspension" and aptly describes the tendency of each word to drop down from its preceding one. At the close of the same century, a famous calligrapher, Mir 'Ali of Tabriz, evolved nasta'liq, which, according to its name, is a combination of naskhi and ta'liq.
Think Pun-grabby! It is also used to write a few other languages such as Sikkimese and Ladakhi, but if you see it, you're probably looking at Tibetan.
Think of that letter as resembling the A in Assamese. Note the hooks flowing over the top like the letter G and an upside-down letter J. There, you did it. If you think of eyebrows as expressing a candid opinion, think of it as a Kannada opinion. This includes several letters that, by coincidence, look like they contain T for Tamil. Burmese: The language of Myanmar formerly Burma has a script made mostly of open circles like a fancy jewelry chain, but the real giveaway is the big round-cornered boxes on some of them, which might look like they indicate capitals but actually indicate an added "y" sound.
The script for Khmer, the national language of Cambodia, has a lot of angled hooks on its top, like little hands gesturing "Goodbye! Its letters have lots of lovely little loops, and some have bigger flatter loops on top too.
Most of its letters have one tight little loop at the end, as though they're tied Thai'd to something. Vietnamese used to use it; Korean still does in some contexts; and Japanese uses it too, but augments it with two other writing systems. There are actually two versions of the Chinese characters now; in the People's Republic of China, some characters have been simplified, while in Taiwan and some other places, the traditional forms remain.
It first appeared in the 10th century. As you might guess from the name it is used for writing long texts, such as books, because it is readable and comfortable for the eyes, unlike the old Kufi.
In the digital world it is preferred in printing due to the simple shapes of its glyphs. It is still used nowadays both in handwriting and computer writing. The Ottoman developed it into a new script called Ijaza.
