 | | The Jews spoke their local dialect, with some "Jewish" traits, just as their Muslim, Christian, or Zoroastrian neighbors spoke basically the same dialect, with their own communal, professional, or caste-based traits. |
 | | Persian Muslims of the pre-Mongol period also used local dialects in written texts, such as in translations of the Qur'an (Ravaqi, Lazard 1978). |
 | | The spelling was sometimes phonetic, due to the lack of Muslim education.These lapses in orthography are important for determining the historical Persian pronunciations. |
