Abstract: This paper proposes that there is a relation between numbers and letters. This relation may exist in all types of different and “π” in Arabic, Latin, and "ط" languages. This research focuses on the reason of choosing some mathematical symbols like English languages. Also, this paper presents some relations between months, weeks, and days in Arabic, English, and Latin languages. .letter "ط" - Key words: Letters and numbers – “π” letter 1. Introduction that it was called Abjad numerals and the illustration is shown in Table 2: Throughout the ages people think that there is a tie There is a very lack of references that describe the between letters and numbers. In Hebrew, each letter relation between letters and numbers. This paper corresponds to a number. As a result, any word or name presents a new view to the relation between letters and can become a series of numbers. Numbers can be taken numbers. It is tried to answer the question: Is the one at a time or added together. There is significance when words include or add up to the same numbers; the Table 1 The Hebrew Letters and Their Numeric Values. meanings of the words that share numbers are thought to be deeply related or even identical. [1] Hebrew consists of 22 letters. The first nine letters, Aleph through Tet, represent the lower part of Bina. The next nine, Yod through Tzadik, stand for Zeir Anpin, and the last four, Kof through Tav, stand for Malchut, the creature itself. In addition to the “regular” letters, there are five final letters in Hebrew. If you look at the illustration in Table 1, you will see that they are not new letters; they bear the same names as letters in the original 22. Also, Muslims used abjad numerals, abjad numerals are decimal numerical system in which the 28 letters of Table 2 The Arabic and English Letters and Their the Arabic alphabet are assigned numerical values.

  • On the Use of Coptic Numerals in Egypt in the 16 Th Century
    ON THE USE OF COPTIC NUMERALS IN EGYPT IN THE 16 TH CENTURY Mutsuo KAWATOKO* I. Introduction According to the researches, it is assumed that the culture of the early Islamic period in Egypt was very similar to the contemporary Coptic (Qibti)/ Byzantine (Rumi) culture. This is most evident in their language, especially in writing. It was mainly Greek and Coptic which adopted the letters deriving from Greek and Demotic. Thus, it was normal in those days for the official documents to be written in Greek, and, the others written in Coptic.(1) Gold, silver and copper coins were also minted imitating Byzantine Solidus (gold coin) and Follis (copper coin) and Sassanian Drahm (silver coin), and they were sometimes decorated with the representation of the religious legends, such as "Allahu", engraved in a blank space. In spite of such situation, around A. H. 79 (698), Caliph 'Abd al-Malik b. Marwan implemented the coinage reformation to promote Arabisation of coins, and in A. H. 87 (706), 'Abd Allahi b. 'Abd al-Malik, the governor- general of Egypt, pursued Arabisation of official documentation under a decree by Caliph Walid b. 'Abd al-Malik.(2) As a result, the Arabic letters came into the immediate use for the coin inscriptions and gradually for the official documents. However, when the figures were involved, the Greek or the Coptic numerals were used together with the Arabic letters.(3) The Abjad Arabic numerals were also created by assigning the numerical values to the Arabic alphabetic (abjad) letters just like the Greek numerals, but they did not spread very much.(4) It was in the latter half of the 8th century that the Indian numerals, generally regarded as the forerunners of the Arabic numerals, were introduced to the Islamic world.

  • Discovering the Other Judeo-Spanish Vernacular
    ḤAKETÍA: DISCOVERING THE OTHER JUDEO-SPANISH VERNACULAR ALICIA SISSO RAZ VOCES DE ḤAKETÍA “You speak Spanish very well, but why are there so many archaic Cervantes-like words in your vocabulary?” This is a question often heard from native Spanish speakers regarding Ḥaketía, the lesser known of the Judeo-Spanish vernacular dialects (also spelled Ḥakitía, Ḥaquetía, or Jaquetía). Although Judeo-Spanish vernacular is presently associated only with the communities of northern Morocco, in the past it has also been spoken in other Moroccan regions, Algeria, and Gibraltar. Similar to the Djudezmo of the Eastern Mediterranean, Ḥaketía has its roots in Spain, and likewise, it is composed of predominantly medieval Castilian as well as vocabulary adopted from other linguistic sources. The proximity to Spain, coupled with other prominent factors, has contributed to the constant modification and adaptation of Ḥaketía to contemporary Spanish. The impact of this “hispanization” is especially manifested in Haketía’s lexicon while it is less apparent in the expressions and aphorisms with which Ḥaketía is so richly infused.1 Ladino, the Judeo-Spanish calque language of Hebrew, has been common among all Sephardic communities, including the Moroccan one, and differs from the spoken ones.2 The Jews of Spain were in full command of the spoken Iberian dialects throughout their linguistic evolutionary stages; they also became well versed in the official Spanish dialect, Castilian, since its formation. They, however, have continually employed rabbinical Hebrew and Aramaic 1 Isaac B.

  • Distant Relation Between Spanish and Arabic
    The (Not-So) Distant Relation between Spanish and Arabic Bryan Kirschen UCLA Abstract This paper reviews the outcomes of linguistic contact between the Spanish and Arabic lan- guages from the fifteenth century until the present day. While much is known about the relation between these two languages during the period 711–1492, the current scope of investigation explores the variants produced by such contact. This study reviews the distinct cases of language contact in Ceuta and Melilla, as well as the Moroccan Judeo-Spanish vernacular of the Sephardim, Haketia, which developed in cities such as Tetuan and Tangier. Keywords: Spanish, Arabic, Morocco, Ceuta, Melilla, Sephardim, Haketia 1. Introduction. While a great deal is known about the influence of Arabic on the Spanish language during the period of 711–1492, much less is known about how these two languages have been in contact throughout the centuries that follow. It has only been in recent years that researchers have started to advance this field (Tilmatine and García 2011). As such, this study explores the contemporary linguistic devel- opment of both of these languages in the geographical proximities of Spain and Morocco and addresses outcomes of contact between them. As a point of reference, we will use four cities in Northern Morocco: Ceuta, Melilla, Tetuan and Tangier. First we will take a look at the unique situation of bilingualism and languages in contact. Next, we will analyze their political nomenclatures. Finally, we will conclude with a discussion on how these linguistic factors have an effect on both the Spanish and Arabic languages. 2.

This sytem is very similar to the Greek Ionian system. It is based on the old order of letters called the Abjad order. Today Arabic letters are ordered in a different way based partly on similarity of form. In addition, Hebrew numerals are based on Hebrew letters. The close similarity between the Arabic system and the earlier Hebrew system is apparent in the table below. In both systems letters and numerals are written right to left. Note: The term abjad is sometimes used for a writing system that represents consonants, while an alphabet is used for a writing system that represents vowels and consonants. Others use alphabet for both types. Also note, Arabic does use letters to indicate long vowels. ā or 1 א ʼ alef 1 ﺍ ʼalif ʼ b, 2 ב bet 2 ﺏ b bāʼ bh ǧ or ǧīm g, 3 ג gimel 3 ﺝ j (jīm) gh d, 4 ד dalet 4 ﺩ d dāl dh 5 ה h he 5 ﻩ h hāʼ v, 6 ו vav 6 ﻭ w, ū wāw w 7 ז z zayin 7 ﺯ z zāy ḥ, 8 ח khet 8 ﺡ ḥ ḥāʼ kh 9 ט ṭ tet 9 ﻁ ṭ ṭāʼ 10 י y yod 10 ﻱ y , ī yāʼ k, 20 כ kaf 20 ﻙ k kāf

It is a term suggested by Peter T. Daniels to replace the common terms "consonantary", "consonantal alphabet" or "syllabary" to refer to the family of scripts called West Semitic. Abjad is thought to be based on the first letters (a,b,ǧ,d) found in all Semitic language such as Phoenician, Syriac, Hebrew, and Arabic. In Arabic, "A" (ʾAlif), "B" (Bāʾ), "Ǧ" (Ǧīm), "D" (Dāl) make the word "abjad" which means "alphabet". The modern Arabic word for "alphabet" and "abjad" is interchangeably either "abajadeyyah" or "alefbaaeyyah". The word "alphabet" in English has a source in Greek language in which the first two letters were "A" (alpha) and "B" (beta), hence "alphabeta" (in Spanish, "alfabeto", but also called "abecedario", from "a" "b" "c" "d"). In Hebrew the first two letters are "A" (Aleph), "B" (Bet) hence "alephbet." It is also used to enumerate a list in the same manner that "a, b, c, d" (etc.) are used in the English language.
