The Arabic alphabet has 28 letters. The shape of the letters varies according to their position in the word: initial form (at the beginning), medial form (middle of the word), and final form. Several Arabic letters have the same shape and are distinguished only by the number and location of dots.
The Arabic language is written from right to left and all letters of the alphabet are consonants. Vowels are represented by diacritics or marks added to the letters at the top and bottom.
