Editing Logogram (section)

===Others===

A peculiar system of logograms developed within the [[Pahlavi scripts]] (developed from the [[abjad]] of [[Aramaic alphabet|Aramaic]]) used to write [[Middle Persian]] during much of the [[Sassanid Empire|Sassanid period]]; the logograms were composed of letters that spelled out the word in [[Aramaic language|Aramaic]] but were pronounced as in Persian (for instance, the combination ''{{lang|arc-Latn|m-l-k}}'' would be pronounced "shah"). These logograms, called {{lang|arc-Latn|[[Frahang-i Pahlavig|hozwārishn]]}} (a form of [[Heterogram (linguistics)|heterograms]]), were dispensed with altogether after the [[Muslim conquest of Persia|Arab conquest of Persia]] and the adoption of a [[Perso-Arabic script|variant]] of the [[Arabic alphabet]].{{citation needed|date=February 2024}}
