Descripción

Scripts used for writing several languages of Asia and Africa, including Arabic, Persian, and Urdu. The Arabic script is written from right to left, in a cursive style, and includes 28 basic letters. Because all letters usually stand for consonants, it is classified as an abjad. After the Latin alphabet, it is the most widely used alphabet.
