Arabic keyboard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Arabic keyboard (Arabic: ) is the keyboard layout used for the Arabic language. All Computer
Arabic keyboards contain both Arabic and Latin, as Latin characters are necessary for URLs and Email addresses.
Since Arabic is written from right to left, when typing using an Arabic keyboard, the letters will start appearing from
the right side of the screen.

Intellark Arabic Keyboard

The above layout is built to maximize knowledge transfer. Intellark is designed to allow QWERTY, AZERTY or any
Latin-derived keyboard layout users to retain and reuse their knowledge of key locations. In Intellark, a relationship is
established between Latin-based and Arabic-based characters based on phonetic sound. For example, typing the
English element in the pairs (a, ), (s, ), (d, ), (f, ), or (w, ( )produces the Arabic one. Next, further relationships
are drawn among the Arabic characters themselves, where double pressing the element on the right in each pair in (
( ) ), ( ), ( ), ( produces a dependent character as based on shape, phonetic sound, or both, and so on.
