ALif 101 – BASIC FUNCTIONAL ARABIC (BFA)

Lesson 1
The Arabic Alphabet (Al-Huruful Hijja-iyyah)
Specific Objectives:
1. Recognize the Arabic Alphabet
2. Pronounced sounds of the letters
3. Write the letters correctly
Arabic is written and read from right to left. The Arabic Alphabet consists of twenty-
eight letters. Some of these letters are very similar to English letter sounds e.g.: /baa/ is very
close to the letter 'b' in the English language. This is a valuable way to remember the sounds
of the letters. However many letters have no equivalent sounds in English e.g.: /ayn/, and
some letters have subtle but essential differences in pronunciation, e.g.: /haa/ which is
pronounced with a lot more emphasis in the throat than the letter 'H' in English.

Two essential things in learning Arabic

1. The name of the letters.
2. The sound of the letters.

Forming numbers in Arabic is quite easy, from 13 to 19 you just place a number
before ten for example 13 = three ten, instead of thirteen in English, 17 is seven ten in
Arabic. From 21 to 99 you just need to reverse the numbers and add (wa- between the two
numbers) 36 would be six wa- thirty instead of thirty six (sitta wa-thalathun), (wa means
and).

0 is sifr in Arabic, from which the word cipher came. For 11 and 12 they’re irregular,
so just remember how to write them by now (11 = ihda ‘ashar, 12 = ithna ‘ashar).

Although Arabic is written and read from right-to-left, Arabic numerals are written
and read left-to-right, just like in English.

Arabic Ordinal Numbers:

Ordinal numbers in Arabic are almost like the cardinal numbers, with some exceptions in the
numbers from 1 to 10, and a slight difference in numbers from 11 and up.

Note that ordinal numbers in Arabic are somehow like adjectives, so they have to take the masculine,
or feminine form. Please check the adjectives page for more information.

 After 10 only the first number takes the feminine, for example 13 th is thaleth achar
for masculine, and thalethata achar for feminine, achar stays the same, the first half
“thaleth” which means 3rd takes “a” in the feminine, and so does the rest of the ordinal
number, except ten numbers like 20, 30, 40, 50, they look like cardinal numbers but they add
“a” as a prefix for numbers starting with a consonant, for example: 70 = sab’un, 70 th =
asab’un (for both masculine and feminine), and they add “al” for ten numbers starting with a
vowel, like: 40= arba’un, 40th = alarba’un.
