Hoi, At the time we accepted Egyptian, there was quite some ruckus because it was considered politically incorrect to accept this.
Now that we have a request for "Algerian Arabic", it is prudent to ask what our position is. I am all in favour by the way.. Thanks, Gerard
I'm in favor, in principle, just like for any other language that is otherwise valid according to the usual policy.
Political challenges must not get in the way.
There are practical challenges, such as the yet-unresolved question of the Tunisian orthography - Latin or Arabic. There will probably be questions of this kind again, which will be hard for us to resolve, but that's a different issue.

Hoi, No it cannot because you cannot convert Arabic into the La script. Thanks, GerardM
