Arabic letters use a separate mapping
This page encodes the 28 base Arabic letters plus hamza using the assignments shown in its chart. Arabic input reads from right to left; Morse output reads from left to right in signal order. When decoding, the directions are reversed so that the Arabic result is readable.
These assignments are a language-specific convention, not the Latin A–Z table. For example, ... gives س in Arabic mode and S in Latin mode. Select the correct language page before decoding a message.
A short worked example
سلام becomes ... .-.. .- --. The characters are س, ل, ا and م in that order. Copy the Morse result and use Swap to check the Arabic output. The word سلام عالم becomes ... .-.. .- -- / .-.- .- .-.. --.
A slash separates words; a single space separates letters. The tool does not infer missing letter gaps, handwriting forms or a language from the signal alone.
Normalization is visible and lossy
| Input feature | Behavior | Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Vowel marks and tatweel | Removed before encoding. | They cannot be reconstructed from the Morse result. |
| أ إ آ ٱ | Normalized to ا. | Alef variants share the base letter signal. |
| ة and ى | Normalized to ه and ي. | The exact original spelling is not preserved. |
| ٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩ | Normalized to 0123456789. | Decoded digits use the ordinary Latin digit shapes. |
The tool reports when normalization changes the input. Regional letters and unsupported presentation forms may be omitted with a warning. Use base characters and compare the output with the original message. This is not a general transliteration service.
تعليمات مختصرة بالعربية
اكتب الحروف العربية في مربع الإدخال، ثم راجع إشارات مورس الناتجة. تفصل المسافة بين الحروف، وتفصل الشرطة المائلة بين الكلمات. يحذف البرنامج علامات التشكيل والتطويل، ويوحّد بعض أشكال الحروف كما هو موضح في الجدول. لا يمكن استعادة هذه الفروق من مورس بعد حذفها.
Mixed-language messages
The Arabic mode supports Arabic letters, digits and the documented common punctuation. Latin letters are not silently mixed into this mode because several signals would decode ambiguously. For an English message, use the main translator. For a message containing both scripts, translate clearly labelled sections separately and agree on the convention with the recipient.
Check before using a result
- Confirm that the input uses base Arabic characters rather than decorative forms.
- Review any normalization or unsupported-character note.
- Compare each signal with the Arabic chart above.
- Use Swap for a short round trip, remembering that normalized spelling details will not return.
- Confirm the receiving organization’s convention for any real communication.
The International Morse reference supplies the core Latin signals and timing guidance; it is not an Arabic alphabet specification. The testing page distinguishes the language maps, and Contact accepts corrections with an exact input and a supporting reference.
