Recommend you avoid "correcting" anything. Once you make a decision to

They use different month names, yes, but they officially call it the

I totally agree with you that the name "Jalali" keeps away all that
confusion and debate around Farsi/Persian/Iranian and also
Shamsi/Khorshidi. But as far as I'm advised, the "Jalali Calendar"
refers to an era other than the "Hejrie Shamsi" which is in use today,
and the calculations are not exact

I can't agree. The spelling is clearly "ÑÐÒÐÐÓ" which you can see has
only six letters. No digraph for

ISO 639 calls it "Tajik". Tajiks themselves call it "ÑÐÒÐÐÓ". So it's
the same Persian vs Farsi thing. Go for Tajik!

"Tadzhik" is also valid, as a (re-)transliteration of the language's name as
spelled in Cyrillic. The Cyrillic alphabet uses two graphemes to
represent the sound of Perso-Arabic . Similar as used in French
transliteration of Arabic, etc.

Dear Connie (et al),
It's very easy to type Tajik using a "Phonetic" (i.e., mnemonic) Cyrillic
keyboard. I wrote a Keyman keyboard driver for Kazakh that should include
all those Cyrillic fancy characters needed for Tajik. Want to try it?
Best regards,

Good idea!
Merriam-Webster even has "Irani" as an English word in case you need more
suggestions for your list.
I'm sticking with the Oxford English Dictionary...

Thanks for your replies and explaining me. First of all, Iâm sorry if you found my

Yeah, well, since I found out you can't actually type it unless you

Omid,
Thanks and good idea.
Why not also include Afghan and Tajik data? No one is looking out for
them. For example, I recently tried to figure out the date in Afghanistan.
There are dozens of online converters but all they've done I think is take
