AI overview

An abjad is a writing system that uses letter signs to represent only consonants, leaving readers to figure out the vowels based on context (unless special marks are added). This system differs from standard alphabets, which include separate symbols for both consonants and vowels.

Per abjad (o alfabeto consonantico) si intende un alfabeto composto da sole consonanti, dove le vocali sono dedotte dal lettore; nella tradizione delle lingue semitiche ne sono un esempio l'alfabeto arabo, l'alfabeto ebraico, l'alfabeto fenicio e l'aramaico.
