- This talk is about letters and words, and mostly about life and opportunities.
It is a story of utopian nature which presents a new writing system: Aravrit, hybrid letters merging Hebrew and Arabic. Each new letter is composed of a top part of an Arabic letter and a bottom part of a Hebrew letter. Thus, allowing people in Israel to read the language that they feel most comfortable with, without ignoring the other one, which is always present.

What a legitimately beautiful, genius and amazing idea. Liron, you are amazing!!!
how come it hasn't already blown over the entire internet
Because it not open source, u have to pay to use
So touching and so brilliant! Out-of-the-box thinking like this will cause true progress. Peace.
Congrualations Liron !!! see you next time !!!
Phenomenal project and presentation. Liron, you are amazing!
מקסים ומרגש!

Brilliant invention! Wouldn't it be great if just like having the Arabic on top and the Hebrew on the bottom like in Aravrit, we could, somehow. devise a way to have the Temple Mount have the sites holy to Arab people on top and underneath them have a sort of an underground Third Israeli Temple built so that it does not destroy but rather enhances being able to pray TOGETHER rather than separately? Has anyone ever thought of this possibility? If you can build a font/typeface out of combined letters, why not build combined prayer sites, in tandem somehow? If not right on top of one another, maybe side-by-side then?
How do someone who doesn’t speak neither languages learn both at the same time? I want to learn it!
The amazing thing is, you only need to learn one!

Are the words Hebrew words? I'm assuming 'market' in Hebrew is 'shuk' (as it may also be in Arabic as well). So, the words of Aravit are Hebrew words?
i suppose they must be the words in hebrew and arabic. not sure how they do it with words not having the same amount of letters but it seems to be working
With the example of "market" she uses the Hebrew שוק (shuk) and the Arabic سوق (suq). It happens to be the same word in both languages in this case but with the word "language" she used the Hebrew שפה (safa) and the Arabic لغة (lugha). I hope that answers your question.
I guess that because the letters are in both languages, you could really write in Hebrew and Arabic
Well, Hebrew and Arabic are both part of the Semitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family. Peace.
Similar to Arabic “suuq.”
I have are theory that some other languages with many characters are just that. Hybrids!
Can u reveal it?
I would could it work for other languages
This is crazy.
This must be a joke. "The president of Israel is using aravrit for his holiday greeting to the public"... Should I cry or should I laugh? The israeli government systematically promotes inequalities, repeatedly denounced of practising a system akin to apartheid.
I don't doubt it, it must have been fun to create this typographic system, and it is actually a nice design and a fun game, but it's nothing else. Don't make of it something which is not.
