Arabic (<span class="autonym">العربية</span>) is a Middle Eastern abjad,
|
|
written right-to-left (660 million users). 2nd- or 3rd-most used script in the
|
|
world. Used for the Arabic language since the 4th century, and for many other
|
|
languages, often in Islamic countries or communities in Asia, Africa and the
|
|
Middle East, like Persian, Uyghur, Kurdish, Punjabi, Sindhi, Balti, Balochi,
|
|
Pashto, Lurish, Urdu, Kashmiri, Rohingya, Somali, Mandinka, Kazakh (in China),
|
|
Kurdish, or Azeri (in Iran). Was used for Turkish until 1928. Includes 28
|
|
basic consonant letters for the Arabic language, plus additional letters for
|
|
other languages. Some letters represent a consonant or a long vowel, while
|
|
short vowels are optionally written with diacritics. Variants include Kufi
|
|
with a very simplified structure, the widely-used Naskh calligraphic variant,
|
|
and the highly cursive Nastaliq used mainly for Urdu. Needs software support
|
|
for complex text layout (shaping). Read more on
