If you care to look, you'll notice that Arabic only has 28 letters in its alphabet, plus a few more vowel marks.

It's much more complex than that with all the various ligatures, combining forms, diacriticals, etc, not to mention another 50 or so characters that are used in other lanaguges that use the arabic script, but aren't arabic-the-language.
Latin has 26 lowercase AND 26 uppercase letters!
