Arabic letters and other languages

There are many non-Arab countries that use Arabic letters to write their mother tongue.

They use Arabic letters in writing, in addition to adding some letters that Arabs themselves do not use to suit all the exits of the letters in these languages. For example, the Persian language uses the Arabic letter (K) to pronounce the letter Kaf in both Persian and Arabic, and Persian uses the letter (K) with a fatha to pronounce the letter Jim (Cairo) or the lightened Jim in a specific way. They introduced the letter Kaf twice to suit the pronunciation of Kaf in both languages ​​and the pronunciation of the lightened Jim in Persian.

Speakers of these languages ​​previously used Arabic letters in writing because these languages ​​were not originally written. They used Arabic letters in writing, or because Arabic was their second language or the language of their holy book, the Holy Quran, or because Arabic was the only language they had contact with, so they wrote with its letters.

But the strongest reason is that education in the past was religious, so they used Arabic letters to write any language they spoke, and this led to the Arabic script becoming the most Spread during the Middle Ages, we mention here the most important languages ​​that still use Arabic letters in their languages, which are Persian, which is widespread in Iran and Central Asia to this day, and the Kurdish language in northern Iraq and some other neighboring countries, as well as the Urdu language, which is found in India and Pakistan, and many other languages ​​that write their languages ​​in Arabic script and letters.

It has become important to learn the Arabic letters because they are universal letters, especially with the spread of learning the Arabic language with Arab teachers.
