Typography — Old Kurdish Alphabet

The old Kurdish alphabet documented by the well-known Muslim author Ibn Wahshia in his book Shawq al-Mustaham in 856 AC. can provide a final solution for a unified Kurdish alphabet. Ibn Wahshiyya informs us that the Kurds used this alphabet since ancient times and old scientists such as Yanbushad and Masi Surati wrote their science and knowledge in this script. He further states that Kurds are in possession of the book of Safar of Adam.
