The Alphabet






Alif, [url=]ﺍ[/url], at the beginning of a word represents a short vowel sound (a, i, or u), a long i, or an ay sound.



[url=]ﺍرض[/url]
[url=]ﺍبرة[/url]
[url=]ﺍب[/url]
[url=][url=]ﺍ[/url][/url]

Alif madda, آ, is used when a sustained 'a' sound occurs at the beginning of a word.




[url=]آسف[/url]
[url=]آب[/url]


The next character has two forms. The joined form, [url=]بـ[/url], is used when the character is followed by another character. The full form,[url=]ب[/url], is used when that character appears by itself or at the end of a word. Remember that Arabic is read from right to left. Arabic characters should be written form right to left as well.



[url=]درب[/url]
[url=]مبنى[/url]
[url=]بيت[/url]
[url=]بـ ب[/url]


Most Arabic characters both joined and full forms. Here are some more characters with both forms.



[url=]تحيات[/url]
[url=]متظاهر[/url]
[url=]تاج[/url]
[url=]تـ ت[/url]


[url=]ثلث[/url]
[url=]آثار[/url]
[url=]ثقيل[/url]
[url=]ثـ ث[/url]



Alif in the middle of a word represents a more sustained 'a' sound. Short vowels aren't represented by a letter when they appear inside a word. Alif is one of the few letters that joins with letters that precede it. It never joins with a letter that follows it.





[url=]باب[/url]



Some of the following characters have both full and joined forms. Others just have one form. The first letter, [url=]ج[/url], is pronounced as a j everywhere except in Eygpt where it is pronounced with a hard g.
