Fingilish (Farsi + English) (also Penglish or Pinglish, Finglish, Pingilish) is a term used to describe the way Persian words are written in Latin alphabet. This type of writing is commonly used in online chat, emails and SMS.

For example, the Persian word سلام ("hello") is written "salam". The use of this type of writing spreads due to the lack of knowledge and/or proper software supporting Persian in the past.
