> the arab world?

in Tunisia they write arabic using the latin script.

for example: ahla أهلا := hello

for sounds that are inexistant in latin script they use numbers:

3 == ع , for example 3andek, عندك := you have

5 == خ for example 5amej, خامج := dirty

7 == ح , for example n7ebek , نحبك := I love you

9 == ق, for example 9rib, قريب := near
