    Actually, it doesn't look like Arabic. It looks like Hindi. But I can't read that, either... :razz:

    It look like too many language of the world. There are than few thousand spoken and written langauge in the world to today at least 1/2 write that way.
    There many dead langauges also in the world. Than dead langauge doesnot alway mean nobody speak it or read it , it simple mean no new word are being add to the language.

    DU, I lived there, but I never learnt to speak the language. Or read or write it. Arabic is one of the most ambiguous languages in the world. Nothing gets done over there, because no one knows what someone else means when they write something :D.

    That writing isn't Arabic - if I didn't know better, I'd say it was some sort of code or shit like that.

    WHAT!? You live there and you don't have enough respect to learn not only how to read, but to write the language as well? How insulting of you. Why, I expect that after only (insert however long you spent over there) you should be able to speak, read and write squiggly lines fluently.

    Now write out 400 times:
    I must learn how to read squiggly.
    I must learn how to read squiggly.
    I must learn how to read squiggly.

    DU, I didn't learn it because it wasn't necessary for me to. Most of the people there spoke English anyway (in differing levels of fluency), and my Dad tried to learn it and couldn't. He's pretty good at languages, and if he couldn't do it, I took my cue from that and didn't try either. That, and I'm lazy.

    I have seen urine stains in the snow that made more sense than the Arabic written language.

    I did, but I have been busier than a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest for the last 4 months. I did manage to get promoted, but unfortunately, it looks as if my company may go bankrupt. SUCKS!!!

    I have also been having computer trouble. Time for a new one. This one is 5 years old.

    DU, does some part of linking your images elude your comprehension? That thing is frickin huge.

    24kb and a minor inconvenience in that you have to scroll right slightly. For the entertainment value gained, I think it was worth it.
