That was developed back in the day when Arabic keyboards weren’t available on a lot of platforms. It’s declined over the years as Arabic keyboards became more readily available. Nowadays, I don’t see it used as much as it used to be. Arabs prefer to use their own script naturally.

[@tsubarider13]

Thank you for actually understanding!

[@aminelak1452]

And it was an algerian who put the arabic keybord

[@AdikaHassan93]

Thanks for the info

[@balangas3910]

It also depends on chatboxes, certain video games for example can't deal with the arabic script, they won't be able to connect the letters to each other and they will sort them from left to right so it becomes a mess. So there's still a place for it but generally if you can use arabic properly then you use that or if you want to prevent people from google translating stuff then you also write in the latin script.

[@LearnArabicwithManar]

My favorite is "sho ismo" it always saves me when I'm stuck what to say, another word is "elbatikha" 🍉🍉 we say it if we forgot the name of something👍

[@avocadocommander]

Well i use every possible name of a thing i forget its name, example: (im looking for my phone) "lek wen hel shi, lek hayda sho esmo hayda el 7adide rl bi kabso 3le, lek he mtel war2a t2ile, sho esma"

[@tahadesigns4688]

i can relate even as an iraqi

[@Tblackknight]

also we use t and T for ტ and თ, for example nu tiri ra (ნუ ტირი რა, please don't cry), or gTxovT, (გთხოვთ, means please preferred to a second person, to personal pronoun of "you" in the meaning plural or formal form)

I love how Dutch people go with 'dinges' literally meaning thingy for both people and things. So you get; "So I was at the mall with thingy and we were looking for thingies to give to thingy. We couldn't find it so we went to that amazing place, Thingy, for dinner and afterwards went home to thingy's house." In Dutch, it's also often expected that the other person guesses along with you want thingy could mean. So the whole conversation sometimes just pauses and you just have two people standing there in silence thinking what or who thingy could be. LOL

[@blixten2928]

That IS pretty smart. Well done, and fun!!

[@Tblackknight]

In Georgian we use w as a წ (hard ts) or ჭ (hard ch), because is Georgian alphabet shrift the first letter is preferred to w and the second shrift+w, alo we use y for ყ (Georgian k'ain), because of the same reason. examples: wadi (წადი it actually has to be tsadi which means go/leave/go away), Wa (ჭა, it has to be cha, which means a well (the place from where you get the water)), also with the Russian influence we write ხ kh letter with the x, because in Russian x is the kh sound. for example miyvarxar (მიყვარხარ, it has to be mikvarkhar, which means I love you). sometimes we leave out the letters or mistake them in the words because of the fast typing and you have to be very good at Georgian to understand the meaning.

I think egyptian arabic would be more difficult. What makes lebanese arabic difficult is the Lahja, but it's easy to understand what's being said. Not so different than the other levantine dialects (palestinian, syrian and jordanian) except that it is softer and lacks virility ahaha!
