Alphabet 2

From Al-Duroos

Jump to: navigation, search

The Arabic language is written from right to left, in a cursive style of script with most letters in a word connecting with the following letter. There are a few non-connecting letters, which do not connect with the following letter, but do connect with the preceding letter.

The shape of each letter will vary, depending on its position within a word and how it connects with other letters.
