An interesting site about the Persian Nastaliq style for the modified Arabic script: http://www.kelk.org/Lessons/lessons.shtml Dedicated to calligraphic and artistic designs, which shows how it inherited from the historic two artistic styles of Quran: Naskh and Taliq; the name itself should be written "Naskhtaliq", for the Persian family of Arabic letter designs.
