Arabic Flashcards


For an explanation of this flash card system, please see the parent page.

These flash cards were compiled from Elementary Modern Standard Arabic by Abboud, et. al., and a word list created by Naser Hujelan at Indiana University. Themed sets (such as colors and household items), were created from the lists at Islamic Knowledge.

NOTE: Some of these cards are fully pointed (voweled), some are only pointed where I found it necessary, and some are not pointed at all. Due to this, the Arabic flash cards will only work one way... by flashing the Arabic, and typing in the English.

Please send me any errors that you find. My email address can be found on this page.

Arabic on MacOS


MacOS has by far the best language support of any operating system. One particular feature specific to Arabic is the Arabic-QWERTY keyboard format. Apple aligned the Arabic letters overtop the letters that reresent the same sounds on your keyboard. For example, hitting the "t" while in Arabic-QWERTY mode gives you "taa," while shift "t" will give you "thaa." The keyboard can get complicated, though, because of the strange use of the shift, ctrl, and option keys. I have made screenshots of all the possible characters you can type in this format.
