آداب الكوفة (Oct 2009)
The written and linguistic characteristics of the North and South Arabic writing
Abstract
The Arabic language, along with the ancient Yemeni languages and the Semitic Abyssinian languages, constitutes one linguistic division called the Southern Semitic Division, and that is because the ties of kinship that bind it to these two branches are much stronger than the ties of kinship that link it to the Division of the Northern Semitic languages, as appears from the balance between them in the origins of words.
