Dear Lofti / Dom,

Thank you for your reactions.

Hi Willem
you are correct, the script use the Arabic alphabet, as well as
- Persian ... but unreadable for Arabs
- Ottoman ... but unreadable for Arabs
and I may continuous the list

like as Frenchy, I'm using the same alphabet than you Dutch, but not for the same language

have a nice evening
