Re: Arabize 0.1

Assalamu Alaikum,


Great work!
I like it.

I think this is a good idea. For people like me who are not native 
Arabic speakers/writers it is quite complicated to get used to the 
Arabic writing (on PC) - mainly because there are more letters than in 
Latin based languages so you have to use keys for typing you normally 
don't use.
Another thing is, due to not having an Arabic keyboard I find it quite 
difficult to remember a key's position, because the Arabic letter that 
is assigned to a specific key has a totally different pronunciation than 
the Latin one - this gets worse when they are close in the alphabet: l 
-> MIM, k -> NUN .

So go on.


I found some transliterations which I think are not that intuitive.
So here is my correction proposal:
 q   -> QAF
 j   -> JIM
 g   -> GHAYN
 KH  -> KHA
(T'  -> DHA)
(DH  -> DHAD)
(A   -> ALIF MAKSURA)
((t) -> TA MARBUTA)


I hope you find a way to enable harakat.
maybe like this:
\a	-> FATHA
\A	-> FATHATAN
\c	-> HAMZA
\_c	-> HAMZA BOTTOM
\i	-> KASSRA
\I	-> KASSRATAN
\o	-> SUKKUN
\u	-> DHAMMA
\U	-> DHAMMATAN
\w	-> SHADDA
