Question

what i mean is that their way of writting does not have letters like ours, please tell me if you know how they type in a keyboard!!!!

Answer 1

They have apart from English also Arabic letters on the keyboard.

Answer 2

I am native speaker of theArabic Language. It is pretty easy. The keyboards usually in the middle east countries and North Africa (Egypt, Morroco, Tunisia) comes with arabic letters on keyboard. And that's it.. it is for us as easy as typing English. The only thing is, the Arabic letters are more than the English and has something called (TASHKIL) which is some signs you put over some letters to change the way they are pronunced. You can add those by holding the SHIFT key, cause in Arabic there is no Captial and Small.

Answer 3

the reason you think Arabic have no letters is that each Arabic letter has many forms depending on its position in the word(first,middle,end),that in Arabic word ,letters have to be connected together and the words look like a continuous curve...
in the Arabic keyboard when you press a letter,it types the middle form ,but if you press space after it,then the computer understands that the word had ended,so it changes into end form of that letter ,and to the first form for the new word..
within the 28 letters ,there are 6 letters couldn't`t be connected to the next one,causing a word to have two or more syllables"parts"'
example;كومبيوتر "computer" where the letter "و" =o=u is one of those letters and the word became of 3 parts......
حبيب "lover"is a single part because no "cutting" letter in it,
but if i type it with spaces it is: ح ب ي ب you see each letter has it`s own tail

Answer 4

I'm a Jordanian, I only type using the english keuboard cuz i'm more accustomed to the way the letters are arranged (plus I can express myslef way better in English than in Arabic)

Anyway there are keyboards that have the Arabic letters on them

Answer 5

Its easy, first you have to add the Arabic. You do that by clicking start then Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options then add other languages. A little screen will pop up, click the middle tab that says languages, then click details at the top. Then at the bottom of that screen click add, then you scroll to find Arabic then click ok. To switch back and forth you click shift and alt at the same time. Then you can type in Arabic. Each key is a different letter like it is in English. You can use a cheat sheet to tell witch letters are what on your key board or you can buy a key board with both Arabic and English on it. Thats what I have.

Answer 6

I'm Arabic. We have keyboards that contain English and Arabic letters. For example the Arabic letter (Raa, written: ر) is on the same button where V is, On the same button V and below it the letter (Raa) are put, and so on, Here's an Arabic sentence for you:(From right to left)
"أتمنى أنك بخير. حظاً سعيداً"
Nice writing huh? It says: "I hope you're OK. Good luck"
The Arabic Alphabet
أ ب ت ث ج ح خ د ذ ر ز س ش ص ض ط ظ ع غ ف ق ك ل م ن هـ و ي
28 letters, with extra "sounds" that replace vowels, and extra "shapes" of some letters like the first letter, Aliph (Similar to A) can be written in these forms, according to its position in the word:
أ, ا, آ,ى,ء,ئ
And the letter similar to L (Laam):
ل, لآ,لا,لأ
Shapes of letters have even different buttons on the keyboard.
