This research also aims to consider the probable of damages caused by Persian writing to these Toponym. findings of this research indicate that Persian writing of Kurdish Toponym in Kermanshah province reflects four types of semantic and reading feedbacks which include: 1. Semantic and reading transformation of Toponym. 2. becoming meaningless and fading of Kurdish reading manner of Toponym. 3. Meaning constancy of Toponym with their Persian equivalent and fading their Kurdish manner and at last, approximate protection of Kurdish reading manner of Toponym and not- transferring its meaning to non- Kurdish speakers. In most of cases, Persian writing is done based on public etymology or the same etymology based on guess and supposition.
