Nukta

Okay, let me explain what "nukta" means like you're a 5 year old. In some languages, like Arabic and Urdu, there are special dots that can be added to letters to change how they sound. These dots are called "nukta". Adding a nukta can make a letter sound like a different letter, or even create a completely new letter that doesn't exist without the nukta. Think of it like adding a puzzle piece to a letter to make it fit in with the other pieces of the language puzzle! It's a small change, but it can completely change the meaning of a word or sentence.
