Belarusian Arabic alphabet

Alright kiddo, so sometimes people in different countries may have their own type of letters to write with. This is called an alphabet. In Belarus, some people use a special alphabet that looks a little like the letters used in Arabic, which is a language spoken in a lot of the countries around Belarus. It's kind of like if you made a special secret code with different letters than the normal ones you use. This Belarusian Arabic alphabet has 32 letters that were made by combining parts of Arabic letters with some special markers to show the sounds of Belarusian words. It's not used by everyone in Belarus, but some people like to use it to write and read things in their own language in a different way than usual.
