Abstract
The oldest specimen of Persian-Arabic script is found in Izzat-Bin
–Suleman’s Book “Sindhi Manzoomia” written in 1067-1069A.H. In
this book additional dots have been given to Arabic letters for
typical Sindhi phonemes. Makhdoom Abul Hassan wrote a book
entitled “Muquadam-ul-Salwat” in 1700AD, he inverted dot of
legislatives for pure Sindhi sounds, many of them are still in use in
today’s Sindhi Alphabet. Makhdoom Mohammad Hashim wrote
many books in Sindhi Language, he made some additions and
alteration in the Alphabet of Makhdoom Abul Hassan. Makhdoom
Ziaudin also wrote many books in Sindhi Language using same
pattern. Makhdoom Abdullah Narey waro wrote more than 18
books in Sindhi. He improved Arabic Script and made it simple for
Sindhi readers. Therefore contribution of Sindhi scholars towards
developments of Persio-Arabic script for Sindhi language is worth
commendable.
