Arabic diacritics: History, Standards & Applications

The Arabic script has numerous diacritics, which include consonant pointing known as iʻjām (إِعْجَام, IPA: ), and supplementary diacritics known as tashkīl (تَشْكِيل, IPA: ). The latter include the vowel marks termed ḥarakāt (حَرَكَات, IPA: ; sing. حَرَكَة, ḥarakah, IPA: ).
