This app can help you learn a few ancient writing systems of Arabia including Ancient South Arabian (the Musnad), Zabuur (the cursive style for Ancient South Arabian), Ancient North Arabian, and Nabataean. All but Zabuur use the unicode standard default font.
Scroll through the letters and study their shapes and sounds. Practice tracing each one until you're familiar-- then quiz yourself on the letters!
Read about each system and try the word scramble game for different languages.
We provide transliteration equivalents for each letter in Latin, Arabic, and other semitic scripts.
