Talk:Arabic/Some history

Untitled
I fixed up this article. I deleted errors, and gave a good explanation.

The biggest error that was in the text was that: 1. the dots are not usually used to read or write Arabic The truth is they are always used nowadays. Just open a book, and you will see the dots. They were not in the pre-islamic era, and during the Early islamic era.

THOSE Dots do not indicate vowels. They differentiate one constanant from others that are written with the same shape.

I believe that the person who wrote the article is confusing the dots with the signs used to indicate vowels. The signs used to indicate vowels are loops, and lines, there is a sign for the lack of a vowel, and there is also a sign for the gemination of a constanant. These symbols are the ones viewed as mostly superfluos to anyone fluent in reading arabic.

I just wanted to clean up the text a little bit. The general message was there, although not readily understood.

Feel free to improve on this all you want.
