If you argue with archaic spelling, then ð and þ are English letters. | http://www.unicode.org/mail-arch/unicode-ml/y2010-m07/att-0295/01-U_0649.jpg | http://www.unicode.org/mail-arch/unicode-ml/y2010-m07/att-0295/01-U_0649.jpg According to "Grammatik des klassischen Arabisch" by Wolfdietrich Fischer, page 9, the "ya" is written two dots in such cases, too. I doubt such questions can be solved with reference to the Quran, which originally had no dots at all.
