Connecting Letters
Unlike English, where each letter is written separately, Arabic letters are connected to each other when they're in a word. The form of a letter can change depending on its position in the word:
Initial: The letter appears at the beginning of a word.
Medial: The letter appears in the middle of a word.
Final: The letter appears at the end of a word.
Here is a table showing the different forms of each letter:| Letter | Initial | Medial | Final |
|---|---|---|---|
| ا | ا | ا | ى |
| ب | ب | بـ | ب |
| ت | ت | تـ | ت |
