Hebrew Alphabet

Hebrew Alphabet
The Hebrew alphabet consists of 22 characters, all of them consonants. Some of the characters can also represent vowels, as can marks written above, below, or next to consonants. Five characters are written in a different way, called a final form, when they appear at the end of a word. The Hebrew language is written from right to left.
