Dear Sir,I thank you for your answer and I invite you to see https://www.ethnologue.com/language/aeb. It is written here that Tunisian Arabic is also written in Latin Script. Akin 2014 is https://www.researchgate.net/publication/259803698_On_the_Potential_of_Twitt.... Romanized Arabic is another name of Arabizi. This was not the only reference that proved this. Here are attached the other works proving that Arabizi is the main script used for Tunisian Arabic in Internet. You can also find that in http://www.academia.edu/11289435/A_quantitative_view_of_Tunisian_dialect_ele.... All these references let SIL International accepts Arabizi as a common script for Tunisian.Yours Sincerely,Houcemeddine TurkiFrom: amir.aharoni@mail.huji.ac.il Date: Fri, 6 May 2016 20:16:06 +0300 Subject: Re: [Incubator] Tunisian Wikipedia To: incubator@lists.wikimedia.org; turkiabdelwaheb@hotmail.fr CC: langcom@lists.wikimedia.org
Hi,
What exactly do you mean when you say "SIL International has recognized Tunisian Arabizi as a Latin Script for Tunisian"?
Do you have a link to an article that explains this?

Dear Mr.,I thank you for your interest in our work. Even if it has not developed online in these months, it has certainly developed offline.The problem of Script has been solved as SIL International has recognized Tunisian Arabizi as a Latin Script for Tunisian. So, we can create the Tunisian WIkipedia in Latin Script mainly because it is the most used writing method online. I have seen the discussion of the committee in http://langcom.wikimedia.narkive.com/OjenAzCc/languages-that-are-arabic. I have to tell Mr. Gerard Meijssen that Arabizi can be converted to Arabic Script if we add to it the guidelines I created and that are explained in the work about Tunisian Arabic in English Wikipedia. So, I can developed a slightly modified version of Arabizi that is convertible to Arabic Script in months. However, I need to have the test wiki changed to LTR and I also need to change the Latin Script name of Tunisian as Tounsi.Yours Sincerely,Houcemeddine Turki
