Virtually all Safavid authors (like Dust Muhammad or Qadi Ahmad) attributed the invention of nastaliq to Mir Ali Tabrizi, who lived at the end of the 14th and the beginning of the 15th century. The name nastaliq "is a contraction of the Persian naskh-i ta'liq, meaning a hanging or suspended naskh". Nastaliq developed in Iran from naskh beginning in the 13th century and remains very widely used in Iran, Afghanistan, India and Pakistan and other countries for written poetry and as a form of art. Nastaliq ( / ˌ n æ s t ə ˈ l iː k, ˈ n æ s t ə l iː k/ نَسْتَعْلِیق, Persian: Urdu: ), also romanized as Nastaʿlīq or Nastaleeq is one of the main calligraphic hands used to write the Perso-Arabic script in the Persian and Urdu languages, often used also for Ottoman Turkish poetry, rarely for Arabic. The dotted form ڛ is used in place of س in the word نڛتعلیق Nastaliq.
