There’s at least one Swahili manuscript in Arabic script which uses ي with four dots below instead of two. This looks like a variation of نْي for [ɲ] ny. #swahili #arabicscript

"Are the Arabic verb forms XI to XV (11-15) really so rare?"

wrote a passage from my favourite song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8_04rELqos)
i’m slowly starting to feel comfortable writing in arabic script which feels weird.
sadly, i won’t be able to read my own handwriting as comfortably because there are not enough texts to practice reading nastaliq. unless i go learn urdu i guess.
