In general, the inscriptions in Arabic look unusual and very attractive. What particularly surprised me, question mark icon (the one usually shown with confirmation dialog or as a help button) should be flipped when. What is definitely less obvious, some bitmaps should be flipped as well. Later, when more technological media such as parchment and papyrus appeared, it was too late to change anything - writing was formed and became familiar to everyone. Going back to controls: Obviously left-aligned text boxes in LTR languages, should be right aligned in RTL languages and so on. We have an excellent tutorial on editing text, kerning and spacing in Inkscape to get you started.
Next, click anywhere in the document and start typing. Once selected, go to the top toolbar and change the font. It is quite obvious that it is more convenient to carve something on stone, holding a hammer in your right hand, from right to left. Step 1 - Use the Text Tool Open Inkscape, then go to the Create and edit text objects tool on the left hand side. Most people, both today and in ancient times, are right-handed. To date, this is the most plausible version. It was the hammer, according to some scientists, that played a major role in shaping the direction of the letter. They wrote with a hammer and chisel and the process was very noisy and time-consuming. RTL (right-to-left) refers to scripts, or writing systems, that start on the right and continue. The first entries on them were made on stones and at the same time from right to left. However, you can also use the Scale tool to resize text. Then this language, like many others, simply ceased to exist.Īll the listed ancient languages, with the exception of Greek, had one thing in common. There were 22 characters in the Nabataean alphabet and it was used from the 2nd century BC to the 4th century AD. From the latter, the modern Arabic originated. On the basis of the Phoenician script, Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek and Nabataean arose. From him came the Phoenician and Canaanite scripts used between 15 BC. This letter included 30 characters and was distributed in the Sinai Peninsula in 1500 BC. The very first writing system that has common features with Arabic was Proto-Sinai. It was based on the Nabataean letter, which appeared on the basis of Aramaic and Phoenician. Its formation took place over centuries and was influenced by many different factors. Alphabets based on this classical vertical script are used in Inner Mongolia and other parts of China to this day to write Mongolian, Xibe and, experimentally. Scientists still cannot come to a consensus on the origin of the direction of Arabic writing. But the main feature of this language remains that the Arabs do not write from left to right, as we do, but from right to left.
There are no capital letters in this script and because of this, even the names look like ordinary words. In Arabic, words cannot be split and transferred to another line. And this difference is not only in the form of the letters themselves. Arabic script is very different from Cyrillic and Latin.
