{{R to section}}
'''Fingilish''', '''Pinglish''', '''Penglish''' or '''Fargelisi''' (a ] word formed from '']'' + '']'', or ''Farsi'' + '']'') is the way Persian words are written using the ] (as opposed to the ]), or generally the casual ] popularized after computers, emailing and online chat became ubiquitous. This type of writing is commonly used in ], ]s and ]. It developed and spread due to a former lack of software supporting the Persian alphabet, and/or due to a lack of knowledge about the software that was available.
{{R with history}}
Although Persian writing is supported in recent ]s, there are still many cases where the ] is unavailable and there is a need for an alternative way to write Persian with the Latin alphabet.

The following table contains some examples of romanized Persian words and the ways they are used by Persian chat users.

There is software to help transliterate from Fingilish to Persian and vice versa. For example, Google has added a page to its set that can be used to transliterate from Fingilish into ] script. There are also communities and message groups for Fingilish on some famous websites like ].

== Social Acceptance ==
Writing Fingilish is often considered bad style among Persian speakers, and is confined to (very) informal communication.
It is considered to be highly inappropriate to write official or polite messages in Fingilish; this reaches the point that, when there is no way to write the Persian alphabet, communication occurs directly in English rather Fingilish.

Uses of Fingilish are often confined to mobile messaging, including SMS, messaging apps as well as online messaging programs. The use of the portmaneu language has lessened in recent years as more mobile phones offer Persian keyboards and users are no longer subjected to ] keyboards which miss letters.

== Equivalency of letters ==
The table below shows how the ] is used to transliterate the ].
