Description

Awami Nastaliq is a Nastaliq-style Arabic script font supporting a wide variety of languages of South Asia, including but not limited to Urdu. This font is aimed at minority language support.

Lesser-known languages often require more vowel diacritics than Urdu. They may use a different set of base characters and diacritics, and the base characters often include more nuqtas to represent sounds that are not present in Urdu or standard Arabic. Awami Nastaliq includes all the vowel diacritics and base characters required for languages using the Nastaliq style of Arabic script. This makes it unique among Nastaliq fonts.
