[Corpora-List] Iranian (Persian) texts in Latin lettrs?

[Jon Dehdari]

Hello Yuri,
Given your background, you should first look at Tajik texts.  Tajik is a
variety of Persian that uses the Cyrillic script.  The phonological
differences between Tajik, Dari (Afghanistan), and Iranian Persian are
illustrated here:

At any rate, here are some Iranian Persian corpora that have been
transliterated into the Latin script:

Since these have been (1-to-1) transliterated, rather than Romanized,
they might not serve you very well in your phonological
investigations.

Best,
-Jon Dehdari
