Ortografsko usavršavanje naše arabice u štampanim tekstovima
Otrhohraphic improvement of our Arabitza in printed papers - Influences of ideas of Vuk Karadžić

Summary/Abstract: The present study discusses the potential value of Arabic writing in relation to the processes undergone for the needs of other languages, which adapted Arabic writing to their phonetic systems (Persian, Ottoman Turkish, Afghan, etc.), as well as in relation to the Aljamiado writing tradition within the SerboCroat language. In this respect, inovations are brought about by additional diacritics rather than by inventing new letters. Consequently, the author divides the existing Arabic writing system into two types of graphemic signs: primary and secondary. Letters of the Arabic alphabet (obligatory signs) fall into the primary type, while vocalization signs (optional signs) fall into the second type. Some adaptive processes led to very specific combinations of these two types of graphemes, including the adaptive processes within the Serbo-Croat Alhamiado writing as well.
