2oktob 3arabi

Yamli

A friend sent me a link to Yamli, a website which does a bunch of things my two favorite being:

1) You search the Arabic web but using English letters. Meaning you type the Arabic as it sounds using English characters like 3arabi and it will convert it for you to عربي

2) You can type a document in Arabic but again using English letters and it will do the conversion for you as you type.

You can try it out, its easy. [Link]

Thanks Katia!

god i hate this type writing

99 percent of people writing in this style have an arabic keyboard, but they think that’s a cool way!!

some people even have a blogs based on this shit

grow up people

That’s shameful.

It’s good for people who don’t have Arabic keyboards, but generally its endorsing writing Arabic in English to sound cool and westernized when they can type in Arabic.

Shameful.

i think it’s a useful application because in the arab world we dont speak the official language as we write it,, and in everyday use, we tend to write in dialect, which looks awkward written in arabic letters. Contrary to people who think it’s shameful not to use arabic as they type, i believe writing in “3arabinglish” protects our official language from mutation.
