1/ Written Arabic uses an abjad instead of an alphabet.
An abjad writing system is a form of writing in which each letter stands for a consonant and not a vowel. The vowels are indicated with vowel marks rather than a full letter

[Bayt Al Fann @BaytAlFann]

Did you know the Arabic language has an “abjad” system and not an alphabet?

The Arabic abjad is made up of 28 letters, written from right to left. All of the letters are consonants, since the vowels in Arabic are denoted by diacritics.

A thread on Arabic letters & language…

As the number of independent bookshops across the UK has almost halved in 30 years, I’ve been following the founder of @MaqamBooks on his journey to open a new home for Arabic books and culture in London - read my piece here ! https://t.co/rJywOLCTsC

Prompted by the closure of Al Saqi Books, a new startup aims to create a home for Arabic books in London. @samannf reports
