The Arabic alphabet consists of 28 letters, reading from right to left.
Arabic doesn't have a case distinction. There are no upper case or lower case letters .
When combined into words, most letters connect with one another, using slight modifications to the basic letter forms
The letters are all consonants, but three of them also represent long vowels.
In addition to the letters mentioned above, there are three short vowels, which are added as small marks above or below the consonants. There are also other marks, signifying things like "silent vowel", "doubling of the consonant" etc.
