Abstract

Persian language enjoyed the status of official language of the subcontinent for centuries. The local took special interest in it and used this language in every sphere of life. It is why that even epigraphs and petrographs were inscribed with this language. Today, Persian epigraphs are found far and wide in Pakistan. But many of them could not bear the climatic effect and lost their original shapes. Only some of them could survive and these survived epigraphs and petrographs are the focus of this article.
