- Penglish, Pinglish, Fingilish or fargelisi is a term used to describe the way Persian words are written using the Latin alphabet (as opposed to the Persian alphabet), or generally the casual romanization of Persian words popularized after computers, emailing and online chat became ubiquitous. This type of writing is commonly used in online chat (Persian chat), emails and SMS. It developed and spread due to a lack of software supporting Persian in the past, and/or due to a lack of knowledge about the software that was available. Although Parsi/Farsi/Persian is supported in recent operating systems, there are still many cases where the Perso-Arabic script are unavailable and there is a need for an alternative way to write Persian with the Latin alphabet. Initially there were no strict rules for conversion into Fingilish or how words were Romanized, and the way of writing Fingilish varied greatly by accent. More recently a standard called Desphilic script has been introduced, which standardizes the concept and usage of a Persian-Roman alphabet. Desphilic script can be used to officially transliterate Persian and related dialects into a character set suitable for ordinary English keyboards, and also accepts UniPers characters (Ä,Š,Ž,Ü). Unipers is another standard, defining an extended Persian-Roman alphabet for Persian language. The following table contains some examples of romanized persian words and the ways they are used by persian chat users. there are softwares to help transliterate from Penglish to Perso-Arabic and vice versa. For example Google has added a page to its Google Transliteration set which can be used to transliterate from penglish into Perso-Arabic script. There are also communities and message groups for fingilish in some famous websites like Facebook.
