السلام عليكم

The introduction of new foreign language vocabulary may or may not become a regular part of this blog, depending on how useful this exercise is to me. Sometimes, with a language such as Arabic and its exotic script, I'm doing a little more than just listing words and their meanings: I'm also familiarizing myself with how to type out a new script using a new template. The text I'm using to study Arabic is Teach Yourself Arabic by Jack Smart and Frances Altorfer (Hodder & Stoughton Ltd., 2003). In the list below, each line consists of the Arabic writing, the transliteration, and then the meaning. A new page where vocabulary appears is indicated by a number at the end of the line.
