This document facilitates writing in Persian with Emacs. Emacs is the ultimate
multilingual customizable editor centered user environment. Emacs is the base
for By*'s choice of user environment in the Halaal/Convivial quadrant. Multiple
Persian input methods are part of the emacs distribution. This document
provides complete information for these input methods.
Emacs comes with two built-in Persian input methods:
farsi-isiri-9149:
A Persian keyboard based on the Islamic Republic of Iran’s ISIRI-9147
specification.
farsi-transliterate-banan:
An intuitive transliteration keyboard for Farsi.
The ISIRI-9147 Persian keyboard is not well suited to Iranian expatriates
living in the West. Persian-speaking expatriates are usually already
completely familiar and accustomed to the standard qwerty keyboard, and
they don’t want to have to learn and adapt to ISIRI-9147. Rather, they
expect software to adapt to them.
This is what “Banan Multi-Character (Reverse) Transliteration Persian
Input Method” – accomplishes.
Consider that we want to write:
حالا، با نرم افزار حلال میتوانیم به فارسی سالم بنویسیم.
Note that we are not writing in pinglish. Ignore the vowels and think of
the Persian writing above letter-by-letter.
Now type:
Hala, ba nrm afzar Hlal mitvanim bh farsi salm bnvisim.
It is as simple as that.
Full conformance to ISIRI-6219 is demonstrated by use of the character mapping
tables enumerated in ISIRI-6219.
Based on this effort, various suggestions for improving ISIRI-9147 and ISIRI-
6219 are included in this document.
Emacs comes with a rich mail reader, a personal planner, an address book, a
calendar, spell checkers for English and Persian, multi-lingual dictionary
interfaces and many other tools and packages; all integrated together. Because
Emacs supports Persian, all these tools and packages also support Persian.
Most Iranians today use Microsoft Windows products such as MS Word and MS
PowerPoint in the Haraam/Industrial quadrant. Microsoft Windows is closed,
proprietary software made by an American corporation.
Our goal is to enable and encourage the transition of Iranians from the
proprietary Microsoft Windows products in the Haraam/Industrial quadrant, to
the far superior Emacs in the Halaal/Convivial quadrant.
This document provides enough information to enable anyone to obtain Emacs and
begin using it as her/his Persian user environment.",
