And in some other languages like Arabic, Persian, Urdu the absence of word divider is compensated with multiple forms of every alphabet.
So at most every alphabet can have 4 forms, depending upon its position in the word: start, middle, end and standalone (but there are caveats)
Also in these languages usual punctuation marks are inverted like question mark, comma is drawn the other way round
After a while one gets used to it.
