There are 28 letters in the Arabic Alphabet. It has seventeen basic shapes that compose these letters. Arabic is written from right to left. Most of the letters are consonants. The signs that make the letters sound and are not used much except in religious texts and poems are called “harakat,” which means a vowel mark.
