Abjad

Hebrew is an ancient alphabet used primarily for writing the Hebrew language, as well as other languages historically spoken by Jewish communities, like Yiddish, Ladino, and Judeo-Arabic. It’s one of the oldest alphabets still in use, with origins dating back to around 1000 BCE. Its earliest form, known as the Paleo-Hebrew script, evolved from the Phoenician alphabet. Over time, the script morphed into what is known as the "square script" or Ashuri script, which is the standard form we see today in both secular and religious texts.

The Arabic alphabet, also known as the Abjad is an ancient and highly regarded script with a fascinating history dating back to the 4th century CE. It emerged in the Arabian Peninsula and is believed to be a modified form of the Nabataean script, which was used by the ancient Nabateans in present-day Jordan.
