The Arabic Alphabet

The Arabic Alphabet consists of 28 letters. Each letter may have up to four shapes depending upon its location in a word. The letter wil appear one way if it is at the beginning of a word, another way in the middle of a word, a third way at the end of a word, and a fourth way if the letter is in isolation. All Arabic letters are connected to each other except for 6 one-way connectors (we will learn about these later). One way connectors will be attached to what proceeds them but never to what follows them.
