Well, It is not political, the above countries have Arabic language as one of their official langauges (by law, by constitution) and so I assume that if a country have Arabic as an official language that there is a portion of the popultion that speaks it, and so a locale for them should be added .. And although Chad is not in the Arab league, Arabic language is one of the official languages in that country as well.. > > > On Tue, 6 Jul 2004 09:51:34 +0200, Isam Ishaq <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Do you folks see any country were Arabic is widely spoken or, even > > > > more important, where Arabic is the official language, which is mising > > > > above? > > > > > > yes: > > > ar_PS > > > ar_IL > > ar_PS (Palestine) are Arabs but ar_IL (Israel) are Jewish. The State of Israel have Hebrew and Arabic as their official langauges (By Law). -- Yours, Isam Bayazidi _______________________________________________ Doc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/doc
