Persian script used in talaqs (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nastaliq

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'persian script' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'used in talaqs' is the wordplay.
'used' indicates an anagram.
'in'+'talaqs'='intalaqs'
'intalaqs' anagrammed gives 'NASTALIQ'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for nastaliq that I've seen is " Rounded characters, etc".)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
