ALPHABET VISUAL RESOURCE CHART
Modern Standard Arabic
This chart gives the four forms of each of the 28 letters of the Arabic alphabet. Just like the Arabic language, it should be read from right to left. The rightmost column shows the letter’s base form, while the subsequent columns show how the letter changes shape when at the beginning, middle, or end of a word. Example words and their English translations have been provided as well.
