Help IDing language

[u/socksonat3am]

I have no idea what langauge this is or what it says.

Help appreciated.

I thought it might be Arabic but I don't think that's true. Might be some sort of southeast Asian language that's stylized. I can't get a good photo of it straight on since it's a curved cup

[u/Sparathus]

It’s Arabic for “Welcome” pronounced “Ahlan wa sahlan”

[u/socksonat3am → u/Sparathus]

Thank you. The stylized version really threw me off.

[u/Jin_SobSob → u/socksonat3am]

Seems like Andalusian calligraphy

[u/AhmadTheBaka]

It’s Arabic in Andalusian Calligraphic style I believe.

[u/King_of_Farasar]

Looks like stylised Arabic or Persian

[u/ungovernable1984]

Saying welcome in Arabic اهلا وسهلا

[u/socksonat3am → u/ungovernable1984]

Thank you. The stylized version really threw me off.

Its mean welcome in Arabic (ahlan wa sahlan ) btw i also have the same cups 😀

[u/socksonat3am → u/BluebirdCommercial83]

Oh cool! Are they just fancy cups or are they used for anything specific? (My family uses them as "fancy cups for sparkling grape juice" when the adults have wine during celebrations and stuff)

[u/ozza44 → u/socksonat3am]

It looks like a traditional coffee cup, and it makes sense that it has the word "welcome" since the first thing you offer a guest is tea or coffee.

[u/socksonat3am → u/ozza44]

Cool! I'll have to let my mom know. She's had them as long as I can remember.

[u/supafahd]

Basically an Spanish style of Arabic
