Subject:GIS and Arabic<br><br><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Do you know of anyone who uses GIS software with Arabic to map spoken Arabic in certain areas? It would be interesting to map the variation even within one country. For example, in Sharjah the locals say beyzat for money, while in al-Ain they say filuus. Some other Emiratis say ghawaazi. It would be nice to have a database of this that could be displayed as a map. I know there are programs online but I'm wondering if you know anyone doing this with Arabic?</div>
