Description Why I suddenly come up with these? Umm it's just that in this time and days wherein the Arabic & muslim culture is endangered and misperceived, I'm touched to see some people who are still interested in it. As someone capable of teaching these people a bit about it, I shall guide them into knowing better about the culture.. Even if it's only about the fonts. Well, god taught men with a pen. What's better than first teaching them how to write first? May all our bonds be strenghtened by this.

Part 1 of 4 of my simplified Arabic abjads tutorial.

Be noted that the sound these abjads make here are written in the way asians pronounce words.

When not linked(otherwise known as isolated forms) these are what the abjads should look like, kinda. Seeing these are modified as a mean of customization and may seem a bit different from the real thing, but should be recognizable(for example the jim kha kho brothers look a bit different from the original version).

Oh, and do notice that these doesn't make for a complete set of roman alphabets. For example, there are no equilavents of the character 'C'. In cases where they're needed to be written in arabic, just use a similar sounding abjad as a replacement... Though even by then confusions would occur. There are modified abjads that some cultures like mine uses, with a more complete line up, though I'm evading the use of that one since I'm teaching international Arabic abjad standard here. A globally accepted version of it.

Also, the additional characters here.. I'm sure these aren't all of it. There are more, though these three are what you should encounter the most often out of them.

Uses of hamza will be explained on another part of the tutorial.

The modified Ta is no different than the original as far as I'm concerned.. Though comes into use usually as a final abjad(to be explained later) with a change in form.

The Lam 'alif are automatically inherited form if a lam is linked with an alif in front, in this condition it attains this form no matter where they are.

I really want to learn Arabic!

I've always been interested in learning new languages! Japanese and Arabic are my favorites, but I don't know any Arabic at all...(I always had so much trouble trying to learn it that I gave up.... )

But I feel inspired again! I want to take another crack at it!

Well, good for you. X3

Though even I only barely understand any arabic. I can only write & read using the alphabets, no more than that.

Why don't you seek online classes?

I've been looking around.

And that's the same way with me and Japanese. I can read & write it, but barely speak it. The writing part was very easy for me, it was just the grammar that I always get stuck on.

It takes time & dedication to practice. Since the order of words in sentences are never the same for every language. @_@ Well I wish you luck in learning that.

Arigatou~!

And yeah, I know. With Japanese, it's S-O-V, while with English, it's S-V-O. Not much difference, but that's just for the basic word order. Longer sentences are more complicated.

Lol. Tell me, I'm from Southeast Asia myself and have English as my secondary language. I can speak well in both my mothertongue and english, being able to distinguish them yet I still have no clue with neither Japanese & Arabic! They're very different. Just with me being Asian doesn't cut it.

Wow.

I know that Japanese, Korean, and Chinese are definitely related, but I'm not too sure if Arabic is or not.

I guess I need to study up on the history. I like doing that.

Well, at some point beliefs from Arabic did get spread across all three nations you mentioned.

Yep, history is awesome alright.

Just sharing what I know well about. These are a bit unappreciated in this world, so I thought I might as well do something to promote it.
And if you haven't seen the rest, the links to the rest of the tutorial are down there on the comment.

The basics and it looks good.
I see how it can look diferent when attached. (After all I have seen arabic script before... just didn't knwo how to read it)
It would be interesting to study this. but it woudl take time before I actually started remembering what each was. I was bad enough with the hiragana and katakana back when I was studying Japanese.

Though depend on what word you're usually the linked form really, it can take really different characters than what one would think and could sound very differently too.

Hahaa true true Even this, I've only been able to do so well because I've started them before primary.

Yeah seeing as they will be used within a word and not often separate well we'll see if I can use this properly
