I’m a non-Arab. But I like Arabic Calligraphy. I like Arabic Language also.

wow, absolutely beautiful. why would you compare two different forms of calligraphy? Seems pointless to me. They are different forms of art and it's just a personal choice. .-= The latest from cubano´s blog ..Auschwitz =-.

I agree with Onzlo. While Chinese calligraphy does have its charm, Arabic calligraphy is so much more diverse and has so much more space for creative input. .-= The latest from Roba´s blog ..My Favorite Firefox 3.6 Config Tweaks =-.

If we are comparing, I would say Arabic calligraphy is by far more beautiful than its Chinese equivalent.

Thanx to Roba and everyone..

to The God Accomplice Of Evil:

Why to compare with Chinese script? what is the point? and if you are really interested in history of written word; can you please compare how was the Arabic type look like in the 3rd century and how is it now..

Also the Chinese calligraphy.. what are the development stages?

How the culture affected the evolving of any script..

Yeah! there is.. Arabic Calligraphy fails in comparison with Chinese Calligraphy.. and Chinese Calligraphy is WAY~ more ancient than what you people think..
i do not speak ill of Arabic Calligraphy.. but while ancient Chinese is considered one of the most old active texts and is still continuing to be so since 12th century BC, arabic written text started gaining solidity in the 3rd Century AD after being mixed with Musnad’s text system and aramic languages.. pretty modern language to me i say..
