The Phoenician script also gave rise to the [[Greek alphabet]] (and, therefore, both the [[Cyrillic alphabet]] and the [[Latin alphabet]] used in America and most European countries.). === Origins === In the 6th and 5th centuries BCE, northern Arab tribes emigrated and founded a kingdom centred around [[Petra]], [[Jordan]]. These people (now named [[Nabataeans]] from the name of one of the tribes, Nabatu) spoke [[Nabataean Arabic]], a dialect of the [[Arabic]] language. In the 2nd or 1st centuries BCE,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.omniglot.com/writing/nabataean.htm|title=Nabataean abjad|website=www.omniglot.com|access-date=2017-03-08}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://mushecht.haifa.ac.il/catalogues/Nabateans/Joseph_Naveh.pdf|title=Nabatean Language, Script and Inscriptions|last=Naveh|first=Joseph}}</ref> the first known records of the Nabataean alphabet were written in the [[Aramaic|Aramaic language]] (which was the language of communication and trade), but included some Arabic language features: the Nabataeans did not write the language which they spoke. They wrote in a form of the Aramaic alphabet, which continued to evolve; it separated into two forms: one intended for [[inscription]]s (known as "monumental Nabataean") and the other, more cursive and hurriedly written and with joined letters, for writing on [[papyrus]].<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FcAoBq4_EnEC&pg=PA152|title=Petra and the Lost Kingdom of the Nabataeans|last=Taylor|first=Jane|date=2001|publisher=I.B.Tauris|isbn=9781860645082|pages=152|language=en}}</ref> This cursive form influenced the monumental form more and more and gradually changed into the Arabic alphabet. == Overview == {|class="floatright" style="text-align:center;" |+ style="font-size:125%;" | the Arabic alphabet |- style="background:#F1F2F5;font-size:180%;" | {{Script/Arabic| خ }} | {{Script/Arabic| ح }} | {{Script/Arabic| ج }} | {{Script/Arabic| ث }} | {{Script/Arabic| ت }} | {{Script/Arabic| ب }} | {{Script/Arabic| ا }} |- style="background:#E3E6EB;" | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|khā’}} | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|ḥā’}} | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|jīm}} | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|tha’}} | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|tā’}} | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|bā’}} | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|alif}} |- style="background:#F1F2F5;font-size:180%;" | {{Script/Arabic| ص }} | {{Script/Arabic| ش }} | {{Script/Arabic| س }} | {{Script/Arabic| ز }} | {{Script/Arabic| ر }} | {{Script/Arabic| ذ }} | {{Script/Arabic| د }} |- style="background:#E3E6EB;" | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|ṣād}} | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|shīn}} | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|sīn}} | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|zāy}} / <br/> {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|zayn}} | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|rā’}} | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|dhāl}} | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|dāl}} |- style="background:#F1F2F5;font-size:180%;" | {{Script/Arabic| ق }} | {{Script/Arabic| ف }} | {{Script/Arabic| غ }} | {{Script/Arabic| ع }} | {{Script/Arabic| ظ }} | {{Script/Arabic| ط }} | {{Script/Arabic| ض }} |- style="background:#E3E6EB;" | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|qāf}} | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|fā’}} | {{transliteration|ar|ghayn}} | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|‘ayn}} | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|ẓā’}} | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|ṭā’}} | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|ḍād}} |- style="background:#F1F2F5;font-size:180%;" | {{Script/Arabic| ي }} | {{Script/Arabic| و }} | {{Script/Arabic| ه }} | {{Script/Arabic| ن }} | {{Script/Arabic| م }} | {{Script/Arabic| ل }} | {{Script/Arabic| ك }} |- style="background:#E3E6EB;" | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|yā’}} | style="width: 3em;" | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|wāw}} | style="width: 3em;" | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|hā’}} | style="width: 3em;" | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|nūn}} | style="width: 3em;" | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|mīm}} | style="width: 3em;" | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|lām}} | style="width: 3em;" | {{transliteration|ar|ALA-LC|kāf}} |- |أ |آ |إ |ئ |ؠ |ء |ࢬ |- |alif hamza↑ |alif madda |alif hamza↓ |yā’ hamza↑ |kashmiri yā’ |hamza |rohingya yā’ |- |ى |ٱ |ی |ە |ً |ٌ |ٍ |- |alif maksura |alif wasla |farsi yā’ |ae |fathatan |dammatan |kasratan |- |َ |ُ |ِ |ّ |ْ |ٓ |ۤ |- |fatha |damma |kasra |shadda |sukun |maddah |madda |- |ں |ٹ |ٺ |ٻ |پ |ٿ |ڃ |- |nūn ghunna |ttā’ |ttāhā’ |bāā’ |pā’ |tāhā’ |nyā’ |- |ڄ |چ |ڇ |ڈ |ڌ |ڍ |ڎ |- |dyā’ |tchā’ |tchahā’ |ddāl |dāhāl |ddāhāl |duul |- |ڑ |ژ |ڤ |ڦ |ک |ڭ |گ |- |rrā’ |jā’ |vā’ |pāḥā’ |kāḥā’ |ng |gāf |- |ڳ |ڻ |ھ |ہ |ة |ۃ |ۅ |- |gueh |rnūn |hā’ doachashmee |hā’ goal |tā’ marbuta |tā’ marbuta goal |kirghiz oe |- |ۆ |ۇ |ۈ |ۉ |ۋ |ې |ے |- |oe |u |yu |kirghiz yu |ve |e |yā’ barree |- | colspan=7 | <big>{{ref|arabic_alphabet|(see below for other alphabets)}}</big> |- |} The Arabic script has been adapted for use in a wide variety of languages aside from Arabic, including [[Persian language|Persian]], [[Malay language|Malay]] and [[Urdu language|Urdu]], which are not [[Semitic languages|Semitic]]. Such adaptations may feature altered or new characters to represent [[phoneme]]s that do not appear in Arabic [[phonology]]. For example, the Arabic language lacks a [[voiceless bilabial plosive]] (the {{IPA|[p]}} sound), therefore many languages add their own letter to represent {{IPA|[p]}} in the script, though the specific letter used varies from language to language. These modifications tend to fall into groups: [[Languages of India|Indian]] and [[Turkic languages]] written in the Arabic script tend to use the [[Persian alphabet|Persian modified letters]], whereas the [[languages of Indonesia]] tend to imitate those of [[Jawi (script)|Jawi]]. The modified version of the Arabic script originally devised for use with Persian is known as the [[Persian alphabet|Perso-Arabic script]] by scholars. When the Arabic script is used to write [[Serbo-Croatian]], [[Sorani]], [[Kashmiri language|Kashmiri]], [[Mandarin Chinese]], or [[Uyghur language|Uyghur]], vowels are mandatory. The Arabic script can, therefore, be used as a true [[alphabet]] as well as an [[abjad]], although it is often strongly, if erroneously, connected to the latter due to it being originally used only for Arabic. Use of the Arabic script in [[West Africa]]n languages, especially in the [[Sahel]], developed with the spread of [[Islam]]. To a certain degree the style and usage tends to follow those of the [[Maghreb]] (for instance the position of the dots in the letters ''[[Pe (Semitic letter)|{{transliteration|ar|ALA|fāʼ}}]]'' and ''[[Qoph|{{transliteration|ar|ALA|qāf}}]]'').<ref name="cota">{{cite web |title=Zribi, I., Boujelbane, R., Masmoudi, A., Ellouze, M., Belguith, L., & Habash, N.

Most additional letters in languages that use alphabets based on the Arabic alphabet are built by adding (or removing) diacritics to existing Arabic letters. Some stylistic variants in Arabic have distinct meanings in other languages. For example, variant forms of ''kāf'' {{Script/Arabic| ك ک ڪ }} are used in some languages and sometimes have specific usages. In Urdu and some neighbouring languages, the letter Hā has diverged into two forms {{Script/Arabic| ھ }} ''dō-čašmī hē'' and {{Script/Arabic| ہ ہـ ـہـ ـہ }} ''gōl hē'',<ref name="hannover urdu" /> while a variant form of {{Script/Arabic| ي }} ''yā'' referred to as ''baṛī yē'' {{Script/Arabic| ے }} is used at the end of some words.<ref name="hannover urdu">{{cite web |title=Urdu Alphabet
