1.1 The origin of the Arabic script goes back to the first alphabets which were created by the Phoenicians. The Phoenicians were living on the costal area of Lebanon, Palestine and Syria. Since the Phoenicians were business traders sailing the Mediterranean, the alphabet influenced all the Mediterranean nations. The location of the middle-east being in the center of the ancient world (between the east and the west) also played a part in the spreading of the alphabet. So that is why the Phoenician alphabet is the mother of the Latin as well as the Arabic script.
In 1300 BC, the early Phoenician alphabet (consisting of 22 consonants without capitals written from right to left) was born in the city of Byblos on the coastal side of Lebanon. In 1000 BC, the Aramaic alphabet originated from the Phoenician in Aram (Syria and Mesopotamia) which represented the language of the Arameans
