Moreover, according to her studies nastaliq has its origin not in combining naskh and taliq, as was commonly thought, but from naskh alone. That tradition was questioned by Elaine Wright, who traced evolution of nastaliq in 14th century Iran and showed how it developed gradually among scribes in Shiraz. 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. It is often used also for Ottoman Turkish poetry, but rarely for Arabic. 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, and it is used for some Indo-Iranian languages, predominantly Classical Persian, Urdu, Kashmiri, Saraiki and Punjabi ( Shahmukhi). The dotted form ڛ is used in place of س in the word نڛتعلیق Nastaliq.
