Inscriptions such as dates, designs and symbols may be scratched, etched or chiseled into the surface of the copper. Occasionally inscriptions are cast, though this is rather rare and this method is usually reserved for designs and inscriptions on bronze items. When applied to Turkey, the term Arabic script is somewhat misleading. In Turkey during the Ottoman Empire the script used was Arabic, but the spoken language was Turkish. An Arab, for example could phonetically pronounce the Turkish-Arabic writing, but it would have been meaninglass to him.
Arabic writing is distinctive and readily recognizable.
Greek and Armenian are languages of Christian peoples. In fact, Armenia was the first nation to adopt Christianity as it's official religion. Greek and Armenian each has a different alphabet. Armenian inscription on the reverse of a serving bowl Arabic script, is read from right to left. Arabic numerals however are arranged in a left to right fashion.
