The Arabic language is one of the hardest languages to master in the world for a number of reasons, one of which is the fact that it has its own alphabet.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Arabic alphabet is not like any other alphabet, for starters, it’s written from right to left. Moreover, it is almost impossible to find equivalents to most of the letters in it. For example : the Arabic \u0633 is equivalent to the English S, meaning their pronunciation is similar. But the majority of the Arabic letters do not have any equivalences or similarities like the letter \u0636 , which is pronounced Daad, NOT dad as in father, but daad. It’s because of this particular letter that the Arabic alphabet is called the language of the daad \u0644\u063a\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0636\u0627\u062f , because this letter has no equivalent (among others).<\/p>\n
