The Ugaritic language is a member of the Semitic languages.
Its script is remarkable insofar as it is purely alphabetic, and is in close correspondence with the Arabic system, apart from the fact that it usually runs from left to right.
So, even if this is a gross anachronism, we may write an unvowelized Arabic text using the Ugaritic script without losing any expressive power, and we may reuse the existing input notation.
