Rayyan Merchant awarded STEM Summer Boren Scholarship to study Tajik Persian in Tajikistan during the summer of 2021

Rayyan Merchant was awarded a STEM Summer Boren Scholarship to study Tajik Persian in Tajikistan during the summer of 2021. He plans on using the experience gained from this experience to further his Persian transliteration project, which aims to transliterate Iranian and Afghan Persian to Tajik Persian, thereby allowing Tajikistan’s citizens to access Persian language media that is not written in the Tajik Cyrillic alphabet.
