Cyrillization of Arabic

Cyrillization of Arabic is the conversion of text written in Arabic script into Cyrillic script. Because the Arabic script is an abjad (a writing system without vowels), an accurate transliteration into Cyrillic, an alphabet, would still require prior knowledge of the subject language to read. Instead, systems of transcription have normally been used.

gollark: Actually, several exabytes.
gollark: If we assume there's 500 bytes of data per dragon... hmm... you'd need an exabyte of data storage to handle 72.1 petadragons.
gollark: Hmm, you may run into gendering issues; let's say 2 a week.
gollark: Of course, 72.1 petadragons would be harder.
