Not necessarily. Old Arabic, and related dialects,  before 600 AD were
written with alphabets where the characters did NOT take on different forms
depending on their position within words. Many of these dialects survived
long after 600 AD among ethnic enclaves while Quraish Arabic became the
standard among Muslims, and is still in use today.
