Answer:
The term Ajami which comes from the Arabic root for foreign or stranger, refers to an Arabic alphabet used for writing African languages, particularly those of Hausa and Swahili, although many other African languages were written using the script, including Yoruba, Fulani, and Pulaar. It is considered an Arabic-derived African writing system. Since many African languages include phonetic sounds and systems not found in the standard Arabic language, an adapted Arabic script is used to transcribe those "foreign" sounds. Similar modified Arabic scripts exist in Iran, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.
