+The five ی letters (<InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "پینځه یېګانې", f: "peendzu yegaane" }} />) are a very important part of Pashto spelling. Unfortunately, because they are often misused, there can be a lot of confusion for readers and learners of the Pashto language.

+
+## Some Important Notes
+
+#### The ۍ vs. ئ confusion
+
+Because the <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "ۍ", f: "uy" }} /> and <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "ئ", f: "eyy" }} /> sound so similar (and in some dialects may be identical in pronunciation) people often confuse them in writing. To avoid this confustion it's important to remember this *very simple rule*: ⚖
+
+ - <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "ئ", f: "eyy" }} /> is only used for 2nd person plural verb endings
+ - <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "ۍ", f: "uy" }} /> is only used at the end of feminine nouns and adjectives
+
+#### The ـئـ in loan-words
+
+You will also see the ئ letter *in the middle* of some loan words where it indicates a glottal stop or "y" connecting sound, for example: 
+
+  - <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "جائز", f: "jaa'iz", e: "permitted" }} />
+  - <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "رئس", f: "ra'ees", e: "chief" }} />
+
+#### The ـیـ in the middle of words
+
+When you write a ی or a ي, they both appear as a ـیـ in the middle of words. So when you see a ـیـ it can be either:
+
+- a "ey" sound 
+- a "ee" sound
+- a "y" sound
+
+This can lead to confusion when typing or searching for things online. For example when typing the word <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "مینه", f: "meena" }} /> should you use a ی or a ي in the middle of the word? 🤷‍♂️ Does it matter? Both look exactly the same, but when you type <kbd>ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>f</kbd> and try to search for it, it makes a big difference! Try it on these words: 
+
+- مینه (spelled with ی)
+- مينه (spelled with ي)
+
+It seems most common to always **use ی when typing in the middle of words**, to avoid confusion. This seems to be the most common practice, but it's not always the case. If you use [qamosona.com](https://qamosona.com/), for example, you will find that the middle of words are often spelled with a ي and so you will need to keep that in mind and use ي in the middle when searching. 
+
+#### ی vs. ى 
+
+Depending on the keyboard used, you might get one of two basically identical looking versions of ی. This can cause massive confusion when search for words. 😖
+
+- ی Farsi Yeh ([unicode 06CC](https://unicode-table.com/en/06CC/)) 👍 ✔
+- ى Alef Maksura ([unicode 0649](https://unicode-table.com/en/0649/)) 👎 ❌
+
+Make sure you don't have a bad keyboard ⌨🙅‍♂️ that uses the Alef Maksura ى! To check, you can go to [this site](https://unicode-table.com/en/) and type a ی to see which one you're using.

+## Writing Systems in Pakistan
+
+export const highlight = { background: "rgba(255, 255, 0, 0.3)" };
+
+In Pakistan there have been a number of different systems used for writing the Pashto ی's. Unfortunately, there has been a lot of changing and mixing between these various systems. This, along with a lack of Pashto literacy has led to massive confusion and inconsitencies in Pashto spelling in Pakistan.
+
+Here's a chart of 3 different systems used in Pakistan, with the differences from Standard Afghan spelling <span style={highlight}>highlighted</span>.

+      </tr>
+    </tbody>
+  </table>
+</div>
+
+##### Pakistani with ي
+
+This is used by the [Pashto Academy of Peshawer University](http://khyber.org/pacademy/#) and in many current publications. The only big difference from standard Afghan spelling is that for the "ey" sound the Urdu ے letter is used instead of ی. 
+
+##### Pakistani with ی 
+
+This is used in [Speaking Pakistani Pukhto](https://www.speakingpashto.com) and in much written material in Pakistan. This system differs more from standard Afghan spelling because in addition to the Urdu ے being used, the ی is used for "ee" instead.
+
+##### Old Pakistani
+
+This system was used in older writings and only uses three ی letters (ے، ی، ئ) which are used for different sounds.
+
+### The use of ئ in Pakistan
+
+#### In the middle of words
+
+Earlier we noted that ـئـ shows up in the middle of loan words, but in Pakistan they often use it as a "y" transition before a long "ee" sound in other Pashto words as well. For example:
+
+<table class="table">
+  <thead>
+    <tr>
+      <th scope="col">Afghanistan</th>
+      <th scope="col">Pakistan</th>
+    </tr>
+  </thead>
+  <tbody>
+    <tr>
+      <td><InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "هغه وایي", f: "haghá waayee" }} /></td>
+      <td><InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "هغه وائي", f: "haghá waayee" }} /></td>
+    </tr>
+  </tbody>
+</table>
+
+#### At the end of words/dipthongs
+
+Instead of the ی at the end of long-vowel dipthongs, the letter ئ is used in Pakistan.
+
+<table class="table">
+  <thead>
+    <tr>
+      <th scope="col">Afghanistan</th>
+      <th scope="col">Pakistan</th>
+    </tr>
+  </thead>
+  <tbody>
+    <tr>
+      <td><InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "چای", f: "chaay" }} /></td>
+      <td><InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "چائ", f: "chaay" }} /></td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <td><InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "زوی", f: "zooy" }} /></td>
+      <td><InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "زوئ", f: "zooy" }} /></td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <td><InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "خدای", f: "khUdaay" }} /></td>
+      <td><InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "خدائ", f: "khUdaay" }} /></td>
+    </tr>
+  </tbody>
+</table>
