Arabic

The Arabic alphabet is influenced by Islam and is used mostly in West Asia and Africa.  The Arabic script was used from the 3rd century AD and is still used today. The alphabet is one of the most widespread languages used nowadays. While the Arabic alphabet was used originally to the Arabic language it has since then been adapted to many other languages such as Maltese, Persian and many more. The script is written from right to left as opposed to normal scripts.
