a- Arabic is written from right to left
‫مرحبا‬

b- The shape of many of its 28 letters
change depending on their position
within a word and the letters around
them; some letters must be connected
to other letters, others may stand
alone.
c- Arabic vowels are indicated by marks above
and below the consonants, in some texts such
as newspapers and magazines, these marks
are not often used. Parsing system
d-There is no capitalization, i.e. there are no
capital letters, such as those used in English, to
indicate proper nouns or the beginning of a
sentence.
• Arabic pronunciation includes a variety of
distinctive guttural sounds that are formed
in a different way than most sounds in
European languages.
