A handy photo guide to recognising and reading Arabic script. Compiled by a career linguist, educator and translator and based on his own experience of learning the Arabic script from the bilingual signage on display in public spaces in the United Arab Emirates, this full-colour publication introduces the reader to the characters, variations and pronunciations in an accessible, step-by-step format. Suitable for use by travellers, students and academics, A Photographic Guide to Arabic Scripts contains more than 250 of the most attractive and instructive photos from a gallery of thousands. These have been systematically sorted and ordered by the author to provide a reader-friendly introduction to the Arabic alphabet.
