Anyone who is literate in<br />

English can become literate in<br />

<strong>Sindhi</strong>.<br />

But it takes practice,<br />

like everything else!<br />

The little secret of<br />

Romanization for <strong>Sindhi</strong><br />

• <strong>Sindhi</strong> can be written with <strong>the</strong> Roman alphabet we<br />

use for English, <strong>and</strong> it’s easy to learn for someone<br />

literate in English.<br />

“maan sindhii likhaan thii”<br />

• Convenient for computer communication.<br />

• Can be used to facilitate <strong>language</strong> learning at an<br />

elementary level.<br />

• Won’t supplant Perso-Arabic, which is still needed to<br />

access <strong>the</strong> literature <strong>and</strong> print media.<br />
