Arabic Alphabet w. Diacritics, Numbers, Ex. Words

UPDATE June '25: Fixed endings for audio (see below)

This deck is to help a newcomer to Arabic learn the alphabet and numeral system, as well as practice reading and writing a few simply words to build familiarity with the alphabet in context. The deck is built off the Arabic Alphabet deck created by an unknown Anki user [ https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/21671203 ].

Each note contains the following fields:

1. The Hija'i order number (Alif as 1, Baa as 2, etc.)
2. The Isolated form of the letter
3. The Final form of the letter
4. The Medial form of the letter
5. The Initial form of the letter
6. An approximation of the pronunciation in Modern Standard Arabic Sound (uses IPA)
7. The name of the letter (in Arabic)
8. Audio of the letter name generated by Google Translate*
9. An example word of the letter in its initial position
10. The English translation of the example word
11. Example word - medial position
12. Medial English
13. Example word - final
14. Final English
15. Audio for the initial example word*
16. Audio for the medial example word*
17. Audio for the final example word*
18. Image showing the correct stroke order for each letter

By default, each note has 15 cards: 1 - 4. Recognition practice for each letter in each of its forms. 5. Listening practice for each letter. 6. Reading practice for each letter. 7 - 15. Reading, Listening, and Writing practice for each example word.

This deck was created by Caleb Plakun in January of 2025, updated in June 2025.

Good luck!

*The audio is unfortunately generally inaccurate when it comes to endings - Google translate seems to have a problem when it comes to deciding on vowels in syllables without diacritics written. For this reason, please only use this audio as a reference for how the letters are pronounced, not how any of the words would be pronounced by a speaker. If anyone has a better source of Arabic TTS, please let me know in the comments! UPDATE: I redid the audio with the sukūn (ـْ) diacritic appended to each word. This (I think) fixed the issue where Google's TTS was adding an additional syllable to words where one didn't belong. I don't know for sure if this also created other issues. If you come across any, please let me know!
