Number of Alphabets in Persian is
UGC NET - 2012,
Answer: A
The Persian alphabet has 32 letters. It is the Arabic script of 28 letters with four more letters for sounds that Persian has and Arabic lacks: pe, che, zhe and gaf.
The figure 28 is the count of the Arabic alphabet itself, so it falls short for Persian. The numbers 30 and 25 do not match the Persian alphabet in any standard count, so the first option is correct.
The extra letters were added because Persian has sounds such as p, ch, zh and g. A student can check the count by listing the letters from alif to ya, which comes to thirty-two in the usual Persian reckoning.
