[Corpora-List] Arabic transliteration

[Mona Diab]

Hi Lamia, 
We use the Buckwalter transliteration system which is a one 2 one encoding
of Arabic letters into latin script. One issue with this transliteration
system is that it uses some special characters such as ³><{}*² but you can
always use alternates for these especially if you use xml tagging.
Here is a pointer

Cheers
