LEARNING TO READ AND WRITE ARABIC
Arabic Reading and Writing Basics
In addition to the Arabic language, the Arabic writing system is also used for the
Urdu (mainly Pakistan) and
Persian (Iran) languages, among others. Urdu and Persian have more letters than Arabic. So once you can read one, learning to read other languages becomes easier.
Arabic uses many dots, and symbols above and below. The Arabic writing system is "cursive", so most letters in words are connected to each other. Therefore, most Arabic letters have a beginning form, a middle form, an end form, and an isolated form. For most shapes most forms resemble each other, making them easier to recognize.
The Basics
- Arabic is written from right to left down pages, like so:
<-------- Writing begins here
Writing ends here <-----------------
