Hi, Amir Zandi1367

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

In response to your query about why Persian is not in the keyboard settings list, the default keyboard layout list for Windows 11 does not include Persian because it is not a widely spoken language in the regions where Windows 11 is typically used.

However, you can follow the steps below to add Persian to the keyboard layout list:

1. Open the Settings > Time & language > Language & region > Add a language.
2. Search for Persian and click on it > Next > Install.
3. Once the Persian language pack is installed, click on the Persian language in the list of languages.
4. Click on the Options button.
5. Under Keyboard, click on the Add a keyboard button.
6. Select the Persian keyboard layout and click on the Add button.

The Persian keyboard layout is now added to the list of keyboard layouts. Later you can switch keyboard layouts by pressing the Windows + Space key combination.

If there is anything not clear or I can't understand your problem, please do not hesitate to let me know.
