Arabic the language for the future

French president Nicolas Sarkozy recently called Arabic, “the language of the future, of science and of modernity,” .

If you do speak Arabic or if you’re trying to learn like I am, then you know that it is an incredibly challenging language. Those challenges extend to the Web where the possibility of finding news and information in standard Arabic script is overwhelming and often incomplete.

Yamli.com is an Arabic transliteration search engine that allows visitors to use their Latin keyboards to search for any Arabic phrase they want. Since there is no proper or exact phonetic match from Arabic to English, it creates a widespread problem on the Web because multiple variations exist for a single word.

Yamli offers a solution in that it allows users to spell the Arabic word the way they think it would be spelled in English. It automatically provides matches from that spelling and other relevant matches from alternate spellings. Yamli also offer serch results both in English on one side and Arabic on the other side.
