FYI:
- Arabic text reads from right to left. Arabic
books open from right to left, too.
- Arabic numerals are those used by most of the
world. Ironically, Arabic language, in general, uses Hindi (Indian)
numeral set instead!
- In Arabic, Arabic and Hindi numerals read in the
normal order, retaining the same value as anywhere else.
- To say "good boy" in Arabic, you say "walad kowayyis", which literally translates "boy good" and so on.
