Edited sentence: Encyclopedia of Islam uses "Firdawsī", based on the standardized transliteration method of the German Oriental Society.Not common in Persian literature, some Central Asian speakers use the Tajik transliteration of his name (in Cyrillic script) which is Ҳаким Абулқосим Фирдавсӣ Тӯсӣ.This is due to replacement of the original Persian alphabet by the Soviets in an attempt to distance Tajiks from their cultural ties with Iran
