What I hate about it, is that it's a totally-cursive language and you know how people's handwriting varies so greatly, right? At least with English, we have the print version which most anyone can read. So although I have learned the Arabic alphabet and the forms of each, I still have trouble reading some signs and texts because of how they "fancy it up." And with all those dots....*sigh*<br /><br />Maybe that's a sign that this is a waste of time. :)Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115294023069458287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740924465958245224.post-63553560855510620162009-12-04T10:47:57.281-05:002009-12-04T10:47:57.281-05:00Thanks!

I guess if it were long, you would pronounce your name "Ambeer." Hehehe. Short vowels are often not written and if they are, they are just diacritical marks written over the consonant. Yeah, fun.<br /><br />Here is your first and last name. I hope I remembered your last name correctly.<br /><br />امبر فريمان<br /><br />From right to left: <br /><br />'alif, meem, baa, ruh<br /><br />faa, ruh, yaa, meem, 'alif, nuun<br /><br />(yaa as a vowel makes the "ee" sound)<br /><br />:-)Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115294023069458287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740924465958245224.post-85208376887271899682009-12-02T18:40:06.773-05:002009-12-02T18:40:06.773-05:00Arabic keyboard is fun, but there's no 'e&...Arabic keyboard is fun, but there's no 'e'.
