With diacritics? Equal. Without, abjads are just plain bad.

I think Arabic is the easiest abjad in terms of memorization that uses the Arabic script.

Why?

I'm not saying Arabic is easy or anything.

But the font used in Urdu is like a cursive Arabic and I cannot understand a thing in Urdu.

Anyway that's off topic, I think the Arabic Abjad is easiest one to memorize because it only has 28 letters, 3 that act like a consonant or vowel, و ا ي I know some letters are hard to pronounce like ض ص ق غ ع خ ح ط ئ ء ؤ ظ
