The Nastaliq script is a calligraphic style of writing used primarily for the Persian, Urdu, and Arabic languages. It is characterized by its flowing, cursive form and is known for its aesthetic beauty. Nastaliq is often used in poetry and literature, making it a popular choice for artistic expression. Developed in the 14th century, Nastaliq combines elements of the Naskh and Ta'liq scripts. Its unique slant and elongated letters create a visually appealing text that is both elegant and readable. Nastaliq remains an important cultural symbol in regions where these languages are spoken.
