Nowruz - Part 26

The names of the months in the Iranian calendar are:
(In Persian, there's no capitalization. I only capitalized these words because that's how they would be if they were written in English. Also, note the commas seem backward in the Persian lists; that's because Persian is written/read from right to left, meaning on the first line, فروردین, pronounced Farvardin, is the first word.)

فروردین، اردیبهشت، خرداد
Farvardin, Ordibehesht, Khordad

summer:

تیر، مرداد، شهریور
