Language Style




A language basically is a method that makes a communication between human being whether written communication or spoken. Different language styles are applied in different languages in the world. One of the incredible language style as I think is the way how Arabic language is being written using English letters and numbers. This style has been started when Arabic communication was needed to be written using English keyboard. The best way to do this was to pick English letters that have the same pronunciation as the Arabic letters, and then combine those letters to make up a word. There was a problem which is some Arabic letters cannot be pronounced on the way how English letters are. The alternative way to solve this problem was to look at the English numbers that have the same font as Arabic letters and those numbers is pronounced as Arabic letters. For example the letter  ك  in Arabic is pronounced almost the same as the letter  K  in English,  ن  the same as  N, number  6 is used as  ط  in Arabic and  7 as  ح  in Arabic.
