Letters in the left column were scanned from Writing Thaana Book:1

Thaana is not difficult to learn because it is written as separate letters.
Writing thaana is a pleasure. You can use it for other languages, like English, as well!
Practise writing the letters for a while, and note how they appear in print. An adult's writing would look more like the thaana print version.
Thaana is written from right to left, so the letters are written from the right.
Thaana vowels are explained in the next section.
