Arabic
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.
Katakana
Katakana is one of Japan's three writing systems, alongside Hiragana and Kanji. It originated during the 9th century as a simplified form of Kanji characters used to transcribe foreign words and names into Japanese. Over time, Katakana evolved into a distinct phonetic alphabet, specifically designed for representing non-Japanese words and onomatopoeic sounds. Its angular and boxy appearance sets it apart from the curvaceous Hiragana characters.
