Arabic Alphabet

The Arabic alphabet consists of 28 letters and is written from right to left. Unlike English, most letters change form based on their position in a word (beginning, middle, or end). Vowels are not typically represented as separate letters, so readers infer them from context. The alphabet is foundational for Arabic script, which is used in Arabic-speaking countries and for languages such as Persian and Urdu. It plays a crucial role in Islamic culture, especially since the Quran is written in Arabic, emphasizing its significance in religion, literature, and identity across the Arab world.
