Short vowels

I've removed the following text:

Texts in the Arabic script are often written without short vowels, making these texts more difficult to read; for Aljamiado as for Arabic, the reader was expected to supply the missing vowels.

Actually in aljamiado short vowels are always written, nothing is left to the reader, as we can see in the sample. If there's any particular aljamiado manuscript lacking short vowel marks, it should be identified. --Filius Rosadis 16:03, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, the opening paragraph should be modified to read: "A text in a Romance language is said to be aljamiado if it is written using Arabic or Hebrew orthography,..." instead of the word "alphabet", since the diacritical marks that indicate the short vowels are not alphabetic.
