Moreover, Balochi has hamza [ء], diacritic and vowels <br />related issue with this script. Because this script does not provide any other, particular, letter <br />or sign for the diacritics and vowels, due to which a number of ambiguous and identical words <br />are often mispronounced, misread and misunderstood.<br />This research paper discusses the hypothesis that the scriptorial issues of Balochi <br />language can better be resolved by adopting the Roman Script for Balochi Language or the <br />same Perso-Arabic script with reasonable modifications which should address the issues <br />pertaining to the issues of the borrowed phonemes, (glottal stops) sounds, the diacritics and <br />vowels. This research at the same time is historical, comparative and descriptive in nature.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Hanken}, author={Hakeem, Dr.Tahir and Baloch, Aqeel and Riaz, Adnan}, year={2021}, month={Dec.}, pages={50–59} }
